How to Convert Degree from Celcius to Another in VB 6 Programming?

In this posting I will tell you a simple VB programming tips "How to convert degree / temperature from Celcius to another one", so the base temperature is Celcius. The temperature will be converted into Fahrenheit, Rheamur and Kelvin. As we know that we have three conversion formulas are (in Celcius base):
Fahrenheit = ( Celcius X 1.8 ) + 32
Rheamur = Celcius X 0.8
Kelvin = Celcius + 273.15
How to apply these three formulas in simple VB6 programming? It's just an easy thing to do! You can do it just with a simple VB program. Please follow below instructions for your tips!

Create a VB project for example Project1

Create a VB standard form for example Form1

Create 5 labels for example Label1, Label2, Label3, Label4, Label5

Go to Label1 properties by clicking Label1 object, and then change Label1 Caption into "Degree Conversion", and change Font Size into 14.

Go to Label2 properties, and find Label2 Caption and change the value into "Celcius"

Go to Label3 properties, and then change Label3 Caption into "Fahrenheit"

Go to Label4 properties, and then change Label4 Caption into "Rheamur"

Go to Label5 properties, and then change Label5 Caption into "Kelvin"

Create 4 text boxes for example Text1, Text2, Text3, Text4

Create a command button for example Command1

Go to Command1 properties, and change Command1 caption into "Convert"

So your screen design will look like below image:

Now, let's write the program coding.
Double click any where in Form1 area to create a Sub Form_Load()
Write down below program coding in the Sub Form_Load() area

    'to clear text boxes text
Text1.Text = ""
Text2.Text = ""
Text3.Text = ""
Text4.Text = ""

Double click Command1 command button to create a Sub Command1_Click()
Write down below program coding in the Sub Command1_Click() area

    Text2.Text = Val(Text1.Text) * 1.8 + 32
Text3.Text = Val(Text1.Text) * 0.8
Text4.Text = Val(Text1.Text) + 273.15

So your program will look like the following list:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Text2.Text = Val(Text1.Text) * 1.8 + 32
Text3.Text = Val(Text1.Text) * 0.8
Text4.Text = Val(Text1.Text) + 273.15
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
'to clear text boxes text
Text1.Text = ""
Text2.Text = ""
Text3.Text = ""
Text4.Text = ""
End Sub

Now, you can test your program by clicking Start button on your VB toolbar to check whether your program is correct or not.

Type a number in Text1 for example 15 (in the text box with label "Celcius")

Click Command1 command button (with label "Convert")
If the results are 59 in Text2 (Fahrenheit), 12 in Text3 (Rheamur), and 288.15 in Text4 (Kelvin), it means that your program is correct and running properly.
Look at below image for your illustration.


How do you think, it's an easy simple VB programming tips isn't it?
