First: Learn VB.
Second: Write program.

Which part is the one you have problems right now?

I think it's strange that you are taught Visual Basic. Its support ended 1,5 years ago and it's slowly but surely dying. Some programs written in Visual Basic are still maintained, but direction in new software is definitely .NET.

[TViYH]

I think he's talking about .NET.

The teachers still call it Visual Basic, mainly because they are Edward Cullen. Also, it says Visual Basic in the title of the program, and nothing about .NET.

Stupid teachers ^_______^

And why do you need a window to select seats? For a theater, don't you just walk in and choose your seat? Or are you talking like, play or pantomime stuff?

I still call it visual basic. I am not a teacher.

Wouldnt be too hard, seems very simple.

Some people like to choose where they sit, then it will be printed on the ticket...

But if they dont select where to sit, then it will put a random seat.

This for Visual Basic or .NET?

You have any understanding on VB?. You made any progress?

[TViYH]

I made it using VB.NET, and sent the sauce to you on IRC.

How is it?

Its ok, doesnt have all the features i want but i need to get vb.net

Visual Basic. Not much, only added a the 2 combo boxers.

I cant seem to get the second combo box it work how i like it.

I do this

if Combo1.(something) = "Hulk" then
Combo2.AddItem = "Hello World"
end if

i almost tried everything in something cant get it to work

[rogeruk]

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
    Label1.Caption = Combo1.Text
End Sub

Public Sub Form_Load()
  Combo1.AddItem ("Hello")
End Sub 

Basically on load it will add Hello to the combo list. When you select it it will change label1 caption to Hello (because of its text).

You will have to make it load from a database and input the values into the combo box. Then load each films data

[Simtoon]

This is what i have.

Private Sub Combo2_Change()
If Combo1.Text = "a1" Then
Combo2.AddItem "b2"
End If

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Combo1.AddItem "a1"
Combo1.AddItem "a2"
Combo1.AddItem "a3"

End Sub

Doesnt seem to work.

[rogeruk]

This is what i have.

Private Sub Combo2_Change()
If Combo1.Text = "a1" Then
Combo2.AddItem "b2"
End If

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Combo1.AddItem "a1"
Combo1.AddItem "a2"
Combo1.AddItem "a3"

End Sub

Doesnt seem to work.

Why do it like that?

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
    If Combo1.Text = "a1" Then
        Combo2.AddItem "b2"
    End If
End Sub

Public Sub Form_Load()
    Combo1.AddItem "a1"
    Combo1.AddItem "a2"
    Combo1.AddItem "a3"
End Sub 

Try that.

[Simtoon]

OMG thanks so much now to get the rest working

Remember you'll have to use a database. Then simply load it using ADODB that way you can easily load and read everything you will need.

Eg, If you select the film Ice Age 3, the show times 14:00, 16:30, 18:00 etc will come up.

To the honest thats the hardest part you will get.

Price / Change / Receipt will be piss easy to do and will take minutes.

Make a good design too

I want to make it work with a database, like depending on the day it will show the correct movie times for the correct movie.

Help?

Plenty of tutorials, if i did it for you then you aint going to learn.

[Simtoon]

How said i needed you to do it for me? I wanted to learn.

[rogeruk]

Didnt say you did, just didnt wanna look like a unhelpful person by just posting links.

Ill be happy to solve any problems you encounter.

//Edit

With the seats you could simple make a seats database with a column for each movie and then 1 - 30 rows and simply 1 for seat taken 0 for free.

[Simtoon]

Do you know anything about getting system time?

[rogeruk]

TimeValue(Now) 

As date will return 00:25:58.

Depends what format you want it im

[Simtoon]

I made it added on a label how do i make it change the time according eg. when you start it the time is 12:00 but 1 min later its 12:01 how do you make to automatically change

[rogeruk]

Create a timer and set it to update however often you want

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Label1.Caption = TimeValue(Now)
End Sub 

Set to timer interval to 100 (100ms) and it will update the label to the current time. every 100 ms

[Simtoon]

Thanks Great Help.

MSDN library can be very useful, IIRC it was included with Visual Studio 6.0.
