Objective: Generate a multiplication table for a number entered by the user.
Controls Needed: 1 TextBox (txtNum), 1 CommandButton (cmdGen), 1 ListBox (List1). Setup Steps:
Code:
Private Sub cmdGen_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Dim num As Integer
Dim result As String
List1.Clear ' Clear previous entries
num = Val(txtNum.Text)
For i = 1 To 10
result = num & " x " & i & " = " & (num * i)
List1.AddItem result
Next i
End Sub
Learning Outcome: Using For loops and populating ListBox controls.
