Tutorial Description:
This tutorial in visual basic will guide us on how to generate random string.
Please follow the step by step guide
1. Open you visual basic 6 application. Select Standard EXE.
2. Add a form (Project in the menu bar > Click Add Form).
3. Add the following to the form:
1 label
1 textbox name it as stringcode
1 command button name it as cmdGenerate
4. We will create a function for randomization. Paste the code below in the form
Function Rand(ByVal Low As Long, ByVal High As Long) As Long
Rand = Int((High - Low + 1) * Rnd) + Low
End Function
5. Double click the Generate button and paste the code below:
Const KEYS = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890"
Dim intCounter As Integer
Dim strKey As String
Dim intIndex As Integer
strKey = ""
Randomize
For intCounter = 1 To 8
intIndex = Rand(1, Len(KEYS))
strKey = strKey & Mid$(KEYS, intIndex, 1)
Next
stringcode.Text = strKey
6. Save the Project and Run the Program (Press F5).
The program will generate 8 random characters. Just change 8 to the number you want in the for loop statement.
