Visual Basic "Do While" loop - vb.net

I am coding a basic program that allows users to calculate useful data on a shape (2d and 3d) based on information such as radius length, side length, height, etc.
I would like to create a settings MENU that allows users to set how many decimal places they would like the answer to go to, so what I did was
Private Sub btnSettings_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnSettings.Click
If btnSettings.Text = "Settings" Then
btnSettings.Text = "Back"
ElseIf btnSettings.Text = "Back" Then
btnSettings.Text = "Settings"
End If
Do While btnSettings.Text = "Back"
'makes IO elements invisible
lblEnter.Visible = False
lblEnter2.Visible = False
lblData1.Visible = False
lblData2.Visible = False
lblData3.Visible = False
lblAnswer1.Visible = False
lblAnswer2.Visible = False
lblAnswer3.Visible = False
txtEnter.Visible = False
txtEnter2.Visible = False
btnClearTxt1.Visible = False
lblEnter3.Visible = False
txtEnter3.Visible = False
chkBox.Visible = False
btnCalculate.Visible = False
btnClear.Visible = False
'Makes shape selection elements invisible
picCircle.Visible = False
picSquare.Visible = False
picTriangle.Visible = False
rdoCircle.Visible = False
rdoSquare.Visible = False
rdoTriangle.Visible = False
btn3D.Visible = False
'Changes texts on necessary elements
lblSelectShape.Text = "Settings"
Loop
End Sub
As you can see, when "btnSettings" shows the text "Settings", the elements on the screen are VISIBLE to the user, however as soon as "btnSettings" changes text to "Back" (indicating the user is inside the settings menu) all the elements on the screen disappear, making room for the elements the settings menu will have. However, while debugging the program whenever I hit the settings button the program crashes.
Any help? Thanks

Use a Select Case for this:
Select Case shapeType
Case shapeType.Circle
'logic for this
'...
End Select

How to create a button with several commands (hangman game) in visual basic 2019

I want to make a hangman game in visual basic 2019. I have a button for each letter, if it's the right letter it will appear on the unknown word but if it's the worng letter I want to click in the button and the hangman body part will appear. My problem is to program which body part of him will appear.
I'm a really begginer in visual basic, so please help me with easy terms that I will understand. thank you.
my body parts are pictureboxes. the first one is the hang thing with the head. the second picture box is exactly the same plus th belly part. the third one is the same as the previous one plus onde arm, ...
I was trying to put all in the same button like
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If CABEÇA.Visible = True Then
TRONCO.Visible = True
CABEÇA.Visible = False
Else
CABEÇA.Visible = True
End If
If TRONCO.Visible = True Then
TRONCO.Visible = False
BESQ.Visible = True
Else TRONCO.Visible = True
End If
If BESQ.Visible = True Then
BESQ.Visible = False
BDIR.Visible = True
End If
If BDIR.Visible = True Then
BDIR.Visible = False
PESQ.Visible = True
End If
If PESQ.Visible = True Then
PESQ.Visible = False
PDIR.Visible = True
MessageBox.Show("you lost")
End If
End Sub
cabeça=head; tronco=belly, besq=left arm, bdir= right arm, pesq=left leg, pdir= right leg
this scheme is not possible, off course, because or it will give the head or it will pass trhough the code and give me the last image.
Is there any way of making each image appear once I click the button (first click-first image, second clicks-second one, third click-third one)
If not, I'm open to different suggestions.
Set all of your pictures to visible=false at the beginning of the program and add the following to your button event:
If cabeça.Visible = False Then
cabeça.Visible = True
ElseIf tronco.Visible = False Then
tronco.Visible = True
ElseIf besq.Visible = False Then
besq.Visible = True
ElseIf bdir.Visible = False Then
bdir.Visible = True
ElseIf pesq.Visible = False Then
pesq.Visible = True
ElseIf pdir.Visible = False Then
pdir.Visible = True
MsgBox("You lose!")
Else
MsgBox("Game Over")
End If

VB PowerPoint, showing a picture when several others are clicked

I've been learning today some VBA basics to apply in powerpoint, but I have some experience in some other languages. As title says, I want a picture to be shown after I click on 3 other pictures before that. When any of this 3 pictures are clicked, they trigger a tick to be shown above that image, and I'm using those as a refer to code my macro. I have the following:
Sub Condicion()
Set Diapo14 = ActivePresentation.Slides(14)
If Diapo14.Shapes("tick1").Visible = True And _
Diapo14.Shapes("tick2").Visible = True And _
Diapo14.Shapes("tick3").Visible = True Then
Diapo14.Shapes("FlechaDer").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
I have the picture I want to show (FlechaDer) with a disappear effect as soon as the slide starts, but no matter what I do, when I test the slide, the picture is always there. Maybe I'm not applying the correct approach, hope someone can help me. I'm not even sure if this can be done in PowerPoint.
I got it working with the code below. I had to replace the "ticks" in the If cycle, and instead of them I used the pictures that once clicked popped up the ticks:
Sub Can12()
Set Diapo12 = ActivePresentation.Slides(12)
Diapo12.Shapes("Can").Visible = False
If Diapo12.Shapes("Can").Visible = False And Diapo12.Shapes("Wool").Visible = False And Diapo12.Shapes("Pencil").Visible = False Then
Diapo12.Shapes("FlechaDer").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
Sub Wool12()
Set Diapo12 = ActivePresentation.Slides(12)
Diapo12.Shapes("Wool").Visible = False
If Diapo12.Shapes("Can").Visible = False And Diapo12.Shapes("Wool").Visible = False And Diapo12.Shapes("Pencil").Visible = False Then
Diapo12.Shapes("FlechaDer").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
Sub Pencil12()
Set Diapo12 = ActivePresentation.Slides(12)
Diapo12.Shapes("Pencil").Visible = False
If Diapo12.Shapes("Can").Visible = False And Diapo12.Shapes("Wool").Visible = False And Diapo12.Shapes("Pencil").Visible = False Then
Diapo12.Shapes("FlechaDer").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
It worked fine on activating an animation (Right Arrow popping up) when all 3 items were clicked. I had to add the corresponding macro to the picture. (Can, wool and pencil)

Access Tab Control based on Radio Button Selection

I am working in Access. I have a form that users select a "method" in the form of a radio button from a list. Depending on what they select, entry fields will populate. Recently we have moved to a tab control to store all of these fields.
My question is:
How do I make a certain tab show automatically when clicking on the corresponding radio button?
The fields on the corresponding tab populate but the form doesn't automatically switch to show that tab.
Thanks!
Here is the first case. In this case, the visible fields do populate when the corresponding radio button is selected. HOWEVER, the tab where these fields are stored does not automatically display. Just the first tab/page shows. I have to click on the correct tab/page to see the fields. I want the Tab/page to automatically display.
Private Sub frmMethodOptions_AfterUpdate()
Select Case Me.frmMethodOptions.Value
Case 1
'International Fields
lblInternational.Visible = False
lblBeneBankHeader.Visible = False
Intl_BeneBankType.Visible = False
Intl_BeneBankID.Visible = False
Intl_BeneBankName.Visible = False
Intl_BeneBankCode.Visible = False
lblRecBankHeader.Visible = False
Intl_RecBankType.Visible = False
Intl_RecBankID.Visible = False
Intl_RecBankName.Visible = False
lblBeneInfoHeader.Visible = False
Intl_BeneInfoAcctNumber.Visible = False
Intl_BeneInfoAcctName.Visible = False
Intl_BeneInfoChargeParty.Visible = False
'Wire Fields
lblWireInformation.Visible = True
BeneABA.Visible = True
BeneBankName.Visible = True
BeneAcctNumber.Visible = True
BeneAcctName.Visible = True
RepetitiveCode.Visible = True
'Common Fields
OBI.Visible = True
DebitAccount.Visible = True
'Setting the method
txtMethod.Value = 5
txtMethodName = "Domestic Wire"
Instead of leaving all tab/pages open, I simply made all other tabs invisible. For instance, if I had two tabs and clicked the international radio button, I would want only the international tab/page to show. By setting ONLY the tab you want to visible, you get all of the necessary fields to show and they are ready for user input.
tabMain_Intl.Visible = True
tabMain_Dom.Visible = False

How to create expandable/retractable form MS Access 2013 VBA?

I am creating a data entry form for one of my database tables. For one of the sections, I have the text field with ONLY the caption: "Description 1" showing. If the Description 1 textbox is filled out by the user, I want it to show the Description 2 textbox. If the user fills out the Description 2 textbox, the Description 3 textbox will show up and so on up to 10 Description textboxes. Is there a way to hide the extra text boxes kind of like when you fill out the information while creating a macro? For example when you click Create --> Macro, there is only a dropdown box for you to select an action. If you choose Open Form and hit enter, 6 more text boxes with captions appear.
Is there a way to get that kind of functionality in a form? Also, in the Macro builder, it dynamically rearranges the page for you, can this also be done with the form?
Follow these steps:
Mark the visible property as false
Add OnChange event for each textbox.
Write the VBA code to determine if the next control will be showed or hide. Note, the Me!FormControlItem.Text is accessible only if the control is focused.
There is the 3 functions for each control.
Private Sub text1_Change()
If Not Trim(Me!text1.Text) = "" Then
Me!Text2.Visible = True
Me!Label2.Visible = True
ElseIf Not Trim(Me!Text2) = "" Then
Me!Text2.Visible = True
Me!Label2.Visible = True
Else
Me!Text2.Visible = False
Me!Label2.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Text2_Change()
If Not Trim(Me!Text2.Text) = "" Then
Me!Text3.Visible = True
Me!Label3.Visible = True
ElseIf Not Trim(Me!Text3) = "" Then
Me!Text3.Visible = True
Me!Label3.Visible = True
Else
Me!Text3.Visible = False
Me!Label3.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Text3_Change()
If Not Trim(Me!Text3.Text) = "" Then
Me!Text4.Visible = True
Me!Label4.Visible = True
ElseIf Not Trim(Me!Text4) = "" Then
Me!Text4.Visible = True
Me!Label4.Visible = True
Else
Me!Text4.Visible = False
Me!Label4.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
Enjoy!

ActiveX List Boxes will not "Size and Move" with their parent cells

I'm new at VBA so sorry in advance if this is a silly question. I have a Worksheet with ActiveX List boxes. The worksheet also has Toggle Switches. The toggle switches are set up to Hide Rows and ActiveX boxes when not depressed and Show Rows and ActiveX boxes when depressed. I'd like to save the file with all of the Toggle switches not depressed so that the user can un-hide only the rows and boxes that they need. Everything works properly until I save the file with all rows hidden. After the save all of the boxes change locations. I've tried setting the boxes to "Move and Size with cell", "Move but don't size with cell", and "Don't more or Size with cell" in the preferences. The same thing happens with all options. Below is my toggle switch code. Is there something in there causing this to happen?
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
'This area contains the things you want to happen
'when the toggle button is not depressed
Range("101:183").EntireRow.Hidden = False
Sheet1.Range("94:144").EntireRow.Hidden = False
'This hides the listboxes since they can not move and
'size with cells
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox1").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox2").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox3").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox4").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox5").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox6").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox7").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox8").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox9").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox10").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox11").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox12").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox13").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox14").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox15").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox16").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox17").Visible = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox18").Visible = True
Else
'This area contains the things you want to happen
'when the toggle button is depressed
Range("101:183").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Sheet1.Range("94:144").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox1").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox2").Visible = False
Sheet11.OLEObjects("ListBox3").Visible = False

I know this isn't the answer to your question (I haven't even looked at it yet), but i just felt like giving you this code, this is the exact code you provided and will function the same way, just looks a tiny bit clearer (actually as it also removes the if statement it prolly even performs at like 1/1000000 of a millisecond faster also =D)
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
Dim boolToggleValue As Boolean
Dim i As Integer
boolToggleValue = ToggleButton1.Value
'This area contains the things you want to happen
'when the toggle button is not depressed
Range("101:183").EntireRow.Hidden = Not boolToggleValue
Sheet1.Range("94:144").EntireRow.Hidden = Not boolToggleValue
'This hides the listboxes since they can not move and
'size with cells
With Sheet11
For i = 1 To 18
.OLEObjects("ListBox" & i).Visible = boolToggleValue
Next i
End With
End Sub
