PseudoCode

Hi guys,

I am new to programming and have never written Pseudocode before and need some help please.

How would you start writing a click event, a private sub and do you end with End Sub? What command words can I include?

Does anybody have some examples to show me?

What would I write for the following?

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load
    txtdate = Date                                  'Disabling all text boxes
    CboCustomerId.Enabled = False
    TxtCustName.Enabled = False
    TxtCustAddress.Enabled = False
    TxtCustTelephone.Enabled = False
    TxtCustHire.Enabled = False
    CboVideoId.Enabled = False
    TxtVideoTitle.Enabled = False
    TxtVideoCopyNo.Enabled = False
    TxtvideoStatus.Enabled = False
    TxtHireDate.Enabled = False
    TxtReturnDate.Enabled = False
    TxtCharges.Enabled = False
    
End Sub

VB Code:

Private Sub cmdpreviouspage_Click()
    frmmanagementoptions.Show                    'Showing Management Options Form
    Unload frmhiresbookingsreturns               'Close Hires Bookings Returns Form
End Sub

Thanks very much for any replies! ;)

An example would be to draw a command button on a form then rename the button to some name, commonly starting with cmd for a command button i.e cmdStart, in the properties at the bottom right of the IDE. Then double click the button which will produce the code,

VB Code:

Private sub cmdStart_click()
 
End sub

And you add you actual code within this.

Sorry Jmacp,

I probably wasnt clear enough. I have the code for the program. I need to know how to write it in plain english.

I need to write down every procedure in the program in pseudocode. Just dont really know how to start it. The examples above are actually from the program I need to write in pseudocode.

Thanks for your reply tho ;)

To do that you could just be like

When cmdStart is clicked (event here eg. Open frmSecond)

Just say what everything does like that

For the code you put above you could do

When the form is loaded disable all text boxes
When cmdPreviousPage is clicked Show Management Options Form and Hide the Hires Bookings Returns Form

Don't get me wrong, but if you write code, you must know what it does. So commenting shouldn't be that hard of a task, would it?

Shouldn't pseudocode be written BEFORE you start typing in the code so you can plan it?

Don't take this the wrong way, but my guess is that this is your homework/project and your trying reverse engineer someone elses code.

Well.............. yes, it is a project

and............... no, its my code, ALL mine.

I am attending college nights classes and we had to write the program. I partly blame myself for not planning it properly, but I also blame the tutor for not making us do the documentation first because it would have made it alot easier and she would have known that.

All I wanted was for somebody to post some examples, just so I could see what it actually looked like and to see what command words I could use.

Anyway, I have done it now so no need to post..............

P.S. dont take that the wrong way.

I suggest you check the first three.
