Military time converting

I am trying to make a program in VB that will convert military time to standard time. I have a simple GUI that has a place to input military time then another text box to show the standard time, then a button to press to do the conversion. I have no idea how to do the code, can anyone help?

Thank you,

Tyler

It is very easy.. You just use the Format function.

Do you mean the 24 hour clock?

You only need to change the Format to display in your chosen style.

This will show in 24 hour format.

TextBox2.Text = Format(CDate(TextBox1.Text), "hh:mm")

This will show in 12 hour format

TextBox2.Text = Format(CDate(TextBox1.Text, "hh:mm AM/PM"))

This should give you an idea:

MsgBox(Format("HHmmssa", CDate("23:45:22")))

SStory

Of course replace the "23:25:22", with the string from your textbox...

Example:
txtStdTime.text=Format("HHmmssa", CDate(txtMilTime.Text))

I tried the code below and im getting an error. Am i doing something wrong?

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        TextBox2.Text = Format("HHmmssa", CDate(TextBox1.Text))
 
 
 
    End Sub

Open in new window

Most of us probably assumed you were using tradidtional VB as opposed to .Net.

What is the error?
