This week, I accomplished some significant work in both the realm of programming and preparation for the literacy test. Programming wise, I learned how input and read information from a Track Bar, and use it to complete a program all based around that input. That program also helped me accomplish come outside learning, by doing the extra portion. I learned how to change the colour of the program WHILE it was running, based on a variety of conditions. Preparing for the literacy test was all about Wednesday, when the teacher was absent. We were given an assignment to write an essay on web awareness, and I believe I did it quite well. I covered a variety of dangers and how to avoid them and also covered the advantages of the Internet.
My future goals include learning how to use other features (such as the Track Bar) to accomplish the same function my text boxes have been. Basically, I want to be able to utilize more aspects of the programs to gain input from the user. The work remaining from this week is limited, I need to modify my current program, the string program, so that all of the functions work correctly, and so that less errors occur is improper input is given.
The major challenge I faced this week was learning how to use a List Box. I knew how to create, move and add objects to the list box but I didn't know how to select the options to use them in my code. The way I went around solving this was to first try and define every option in the List Box. However, I couldn't figure out how to do this after a lot of time, so I asked a friend for help. Unfortunately, he was having the same problem. So, I resulted in asking the teacher for assistance, and after I was told what to do, it did seem really obvious.
