In the examples of this and the previous section, the files to be processed have been opened and closed within a single procedure. However, the solution to some programming problems requires that a file be opened just once the instant the program is run and stay open until the program is terminated. This is easily accomplished by placing the Open statement in the Form_Load event procedure and the Close and End statements in the click event procedure for a command button labeled “Quit.” 7.3 A CASE STUDY: RECORDING CHECKS AND DEPOSITS The purpose of this section is to take you through the design and implementation of a quality program for personal checkbook management. Nothing in this chapter shows off the power of Visual Basic better than the program in this section. That a user-friendly checkbook management program can be written in less than five pages of code clearly shows Visual Basic’s ability to improve the productivity of programmers. It is easy to imagine an entire finance program, similar to programs that have generated millions of dollars of sales, being written in only a few weeks by using Visual Basic! ■ THE DESIGN OF THE PROGRAM Though there are many commercial programs available for personal financial management, they include so many bells and whistles that their original purposes—keeping track of transactions
and reporting balances—have become obscured. The program in this section was designed specifically as a checkbook program. It keeps track of expenditures and deposits and produces a printed report. Adding a reconciliation feature would be easy enough, although we did not include one. The program is supposed to be user-friendly. Therefore, it showcases many of the techniques and tools available in Visual Basic. The general design goals for the program included the abilities to • Automatically enter the user’s name on each check and deposit slip. • Automatically provide the next consecutive check or deposit slip number. (The user can override this feature if necessary.) • Automatically provide the date. (Again, this feature can be overridden.) • For each check, record the payee, the amount, and optionally a memo. • For each deposit slip, record the source, the amount, and optionally a memo. • Display the current balance at all times. • Produce a printout detailing all transactions. ■ THE USER INTERFACE With Visual Basic we can place a replica of a check or deposit slip on the screen and let the user supply the information as if actually filling out a check or deposit slip. Figure 7-4 shows the form in its check mode. A picture box forms the boundary of the check. Below the picture box are two labels for the current balance and four command buttons. FIGURE 7-4 Template for Entering a Check A Case Study: Recording Checks and Deposits 229 The first time the program is run, the user is asked for his or her name, the starting balance, and the numbers of the first check and deposit slip. Suppose the user’s name is David Schneider, the first check has number 1, the starting balance is $1000, and the first deposit slip is also number 1. Figure 7-4 shows the form after the three pieces of input. The upper part of the form looks like a check. The check has a color of light turquoise blue (or cyan). The Date box is automatically set to today’s date, but can be altered by the user. The user fills in the payee, amount, and optionally a memo. When the user pushes the Record This Check button, the information is written to a file, the balance is updated, and check number 2 appears. To record a deposit, the user pushes the Switch to Deposits button. The form then appears as in Figure 7-5. The form’s title bar now reads Deposit Slip, the words Pay To changes to Source, and the color of the slip changes to yellow. Also, in the buttons at the bottom of the form, the words Check and Deposit are interchanged. A deposit is recorded in much the same way as a check. When the Print Report button is pushed, a printout similar to the one in Figure 7-5 is printed on the printer.
