Adjusting a time with a variable
I have spent the last few hours reading the forums here and googling / searching the help files for an answer to this. I am rather new to VB, i just stated learning it on my own a couple weeks ago and this is my first program. So any links or books you would suggest would be helpful also.
I am trying to write a build time estimator. I have the resources set via user input text boxes(tbwoodrequiredresources.text & tbwoodcompletion.text), with the output currently displayed in another text box(tbwoodcompletion.text).
What i want is to be able to make "6" set by the tbwoodcompletion.text.
Code:
If IsNumeric(tbWoodRequiredResources.Text) Then
If tbWoodRequiredResources.Text > tbWoodCurrent.Text Then
'This line calculates the estimated time to completion and returns a decimal
'Value in the form of hour.min
tbWoodCompletion.Text = (tbWoodRequiredResources.Text - tbWoodCurrent.Text) / _
tbWoodPPH.Text
'This line displays the required resources to complete
tbWoodDiff.Text = tbWoodRequiredResources.Text - tbWoodCurrent.Text
'Can not figure this section out, so it just displays a hard coded time to
'completion.
lbltest.Text = DateAdd("h", 6, Now)
Else
'error handling section
tbWoodCompletion.Text = "0"
tbWoodDiff.Text = tbWoodRequiredResources.Text - tbWoodCurrent.Text
End If
Else
'Error message if nothing was entered into the text box
MessageBox.Show("You did not enter a number for Wood Building")
End If
As it stands right now the tbwoodcompletion.text outputs a decimal number that i just use a standard 100:60 conversion chart to manually figure out what time it will finish, but i would prefer to automate it when the click event happens it adds the estimated build time to the current system time.
Thanks
