shorther the code if a text equal with something - vb.net

I'm a beginner programmer and I'm trying to create a game with Questions (Want to be a millionaire). Unfortunately, however, I've been stuck a bit, because what I want to do requires rewriting the code too often. Can I make this a little easier?
The first code is with Questions.
If LbNumber.Text increase +1, all code my increase +1
Private Sub BttStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BttStart.Click
Dim Rand As New Random() 'Pentru extragerea unui ` Număr ` aleatoriu)
Dim Number = Rand.Next(1, CountQListBox.Text) 'Exemplu, Un Număr intre (1,26)
LBNumber.Text = Number 'In Label-ul nostru denumit, LBNumber, va apărea Numarul extras.
If LBNumber.Text = ("1") Then 'Dacă Numărul extras va fi 1
QuestionBox.Text = QListBoxLoad.Items(1) 'In TextBox-ul denumit, QuestionBox va apărea primul Item din ListBox 1.
QListBoxLoad.SelectedItem = QListBoxLoad.Items(1) 'Vom selecta astfel primul Item, din ListBox 1.
ElseIf LBNumber.Text = ("2") Then
QuestionBox.Text = QListBoxLoad.Items(2)
QListBoxLoad.SelectedItem = QListBoxLoad.Items(2)
ElseIf LBNumber.Text = ("3") Then
QuestionBox.Text = QListBoxLoad.Items(3)
QListBoxLoad.SelectedItem = QListBoxLoad.Items(3)
ElseIf LBNumber.Text = ("4") Then

ElseIf LBNumber.Text = ("5") Then

QListBoxLoad.SelectedItem = QListBoxLoad.Items(5)

End Sub

From what I gather, you are trying to get characters from specific places in specific lines on a text box. Based on the error message you included in your question, I assume the error occurs on a line of code containing the "String. Substring" method. If the string where you are getting the substring from is too short to cover the range you have specified in the substring method, you will get this error. For instance, if you are getting a substring that's 3 characters long from line 2 starting at character 0 and it has less than 3 characters, you will get this error.
See the documentation on the String.Substring method here

I have a problem with the first If statement aktivmarkering=1, goes directly to the 'Else' even though if statements is true.
First time code is run, aktivmarkering is = 0, and therefore it obviously goes to 'Else', but after that one has ben run AktivMarkering is = 1, and first if should be executed. I don't see why not - anyone whos able to help?
Thanks.

VB.Net Drawing Binary Trees

Essentially, the purpose of this program is for revision. The program will generate a random mathematical expression, convert this into a visual representation of a binary tree and the user will have to traverse the binary tree. However, when I run this code, the initial node is far off centre. How would I go about re-positioning the binary tree to be in the middle of the PictureBox? Here is my code:

Apologies for it's inefficiency, please also note that the "difficulty" variable is Public and stored outside of this form. Thanks :)

Calling the same function with different functions called inside

I hope my title is clear. Let me explain. I have 4 buttons that do pretty much the same.
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
LimiteGlobalSeparador = InputBox("Introduzca la distancia máxima entre huecos en el tubo", "Cuadro de Datos, Separaciones", "")
Dim a, b, c, d, f, g As New Label
Dim o, p, q, r, s, t As New Label
a.Text = "Medida del Tubo"
b.Text = "Espacio 1"
c.Text = "Espacio 2"
d.Text = "Espacio 3"
f.Text = "Espacio 4"
g.Text = "Espacio 5"
For i = 0 To 5
TableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(a, 0, i)
Next
If TextBox1.Text <> 0 Then
For j = 1 To Int(TextBox1.Text)
Dim x As New List(Of Decimal)
x = MedTuboFuncPCT()
For i = 0 To x.Count - 1
Dim lbl As New Label
lbl.Text = Math.Round(x(i), 2)
TableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(lbl, j, i)
Next
ContadorGlobal = ContadorGlobal + 1
Next
Else
End If
ContadorGlobal = 0
Dim h As Integer
h = Int(TextBox2.Text - TextBox1.Text)
If TextBox2.Text <> 0 Then
If h = Int(TextBox2.Text) Then
For j = 1 To Int(TextBox2.Text)
Dim x As New List(Of Decimal)
x = MedTuboFunCTCT()
For i = 0 To x.Count - 1
Dim lbl As New Label
lbl.Text = Math.Round(x(i), 2)
TableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(lbl, j, i)
Next
ContadorGlobal = ContadorGlobal + 1
Next
Else
ContadorGlobal = 0
For j = Int(1) + Int(TextBox1.Text) To (Int(TextBox1.Text) + Int(TextBox2.Text))
Dim x As New List(Of Decimal)
x = MedTuboFunCTCT()
For i = 0 To x.Count - 1
Dim lbl As New Label
lbl.Text = Math.Round(x(i), 2)
TableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(lbl, j, i)
Next
ContadorGlobal = ContadorGlobal + 1
Next
End If
End If
ContadorGlobal = 0
If TextBox3.Text <> 0 Then
Dim x As New List(Of Decimal)
x = MedTuboFuncPP()
For i = 0 To x.Count - 1
Dim lbl As New Label
lbl.Text = Math.Round(x(i), 2)
TableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(lbl, 1, i)
Next
End If
If Te180 > 0 Then
o.Text = "Medida del Tubo"
p.Text = "Espacio 1"
q.Text = "Espacio 2"
r.Text = "Espacio 3"
s.Text = "Espacio 4"
t.Text = "Espacio 5"
For i = 6 To 11
TableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(o, 0, i)
Next
End If
End Sub
So I'm trying to create a Sub and then each button call that sub, so I don't have repeating code in each button like I have now. The only change is here:
One button calls this function. x = MedTuboFuncPCT().
Another one calls x = MedTuboFuncPCTVid()
Another one calls x = MedTuboFuncPCTVidBB()
I don't know how to make a Sub in which I can make this difference. Hope I'm clear enough. Thanks in advance.
Create your function and send a value in it so you can change the x function
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
VFunction = 1
RepeatedCode(VFunction)
End Sub
On Button2 VFunction = 2 and so on. Then create your function.
Public Sub RepeatedCode (ByVal VFunction as integer)
If VFunction = 1 Then
x = MedTuboFuncPCT()
ElseIf VFunction = 2 Then
x = MedTuboFuncPCTVid()
ElseIf VFunction = 3 Then
x = MedTuboFuncPCT()
End If
'The Rest of your code
I belive the If condition must be placed inside your If TextBox1.Text <> 0
Since it its the only place where I see you used one of the Functions you mentioned

I'm having trouble with my binary to decimal converter

When I put in a binary number it gives me more than one result in messagebox.show.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim s As String
Dim a, b, c As Long
a = CLng(Val(TxtBoxInput.Text))
s = TxtBoxInput.Text
TxtBoxInput.Clear()
For i = 1 To Len(s) Step 1
b = CLng(Mid(s, i, 1))
c = Len(s) - i
b = CLng(Val(b) * (2 ^ c))
TxtBoxInput.Text = CStr(MessageBox.Show(CStr(Val(TxtBoxInput.Text) + b)))
Next i
End Sub
You would use the MsgBox Method. It is uncertain from your example where the result is that you are wanting to show.
MsgBox("Information Here", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "MyTitle")
Edit based on Comments
Put your MessageBox outside of your loop something like this:
Dim s, temp As String
Dim a, b, c As Long
a = CLng(Val(TxtBoxInput.Text))
s = TxtBoxInput.Text
TxtBoxInput.Clear()
For i = 1 To Len(s) Step 1
b = CLng(Mid(s, i, 1))
c = Len(s) - i
b = CLng(Val(b) * (2 ^ c))
temp = CStr(Val(temp) + b)
Next i
MessageBox.Show(temp)
Dim s As String
Dim a, b, c As Long
a = CLng(Val(TxtBoxInput.Text))
s = TxtBoxInput.Text
TxtBoxInput.Clear()
For i = 1 To Len(s) Step 1
b = CLng(Mid(s, i, 1))
c = Len(s) - i
b = CLng(Val(b) * (2 ^ c))
TxtBoxInput.Text = CStr(Val(TxtBoxInput.Text) + b)
Next i
MSGBOX(TXTBOXINPUT)
