Savings Account using Class

Modules
Please use speaker notes for
additional information!

Enter 100 in
Transaction
Amount and
Click Deposit.

Click on reset to
transfer into
balance.

Enter amount
and click on
withdrawal.

Click on reset to
make opening
balance.

SavAcct.vbp
SavAcct.vbp

The Get and Let procedures are assign

and retrieve property values. In this
example, I do not want to assign to
Balance so there is no Let.

The deposit and withdrawal

methods give the class the
behaviors it needs to increase or
decrease the balance.

vTranAmt is the
information passed to
the deposit or
withdrawal method.

SavAcct.vbp
SavAcct.vbp

The Deposit method receives wkTranAmt as vTranAmt and curBalance is

changed. When I get the Balance it receives curBalance.

objSavAcct is
dimensioned

Reset puts the current

objSavAcct.Balance
on the form using Get.

objSavAcct is instantiated

Occurs before the focus shifts to a (second) control that has its CausesValidation property set to
True. from Microsoft VB In fact, I am not really doing validation here, I am assigning.

On the form an InputBox

is used to take in the
interest rate. The interest
rate is now assigned to
objSavAcct.IntRate where
as vIntRate it is assigned
to intIntRate.

Both ways of coding work:

Private Sub cmdDpsit_Click()
objSavAcct.Deposit wkTranAmt
lblClsBal.Caption = objSavAcct.Balance
cmdDpsit.Enabled = False
cmdWthDrwl.Enabled = False
cmdSetInt.Enabled = False
cmdReset.Enabled = True
End Sub

Private Sub cmdDpsit_Click()

objSavAcct.Deposit (wkTranAmt)
lblClsBal.Caption = objSavAcct.Balance
cmdDpsit.Enabled = False
cmdWthDrwl.Enabled = False
cmdSetInt.Enabled = False
cmdReset.Enabled = True
End Sub

The steps in coding the line

objSavAcct.Deposit (wkTranAmt)

The Deposit Method

on the Class Module
SavAcct.

SavAcct00.vbp
SavAcct00.vbp

In this example the

validate makes sure that
an amount was entered
in the transaction box.
However, problems
develop if the entry is
not made because the
amount from the last
transaction is used. A
simple fix is shown
below.

Private Sub txtTrnAmt_Validate(Cancel As Boolean)

If txtTrnAmt.Text <> "" Then
wkTranAmt = txtTrnAmt.Text
Else
wkTranAmt = 0
End If
End Sub

RaiseEvent on
insufficient funds.

SavAcct01.vbp
SavAcct01.vbp

If there are events that can be raised or

triggered, the Dim statement needs to
include the WithEvents clause.

SavAcct01.vbp
SavAcct01.vbp

In this example, the validate checks to make sure a

transaction amount was entered before transferring to
wkTranAmt, and acts on the problem by setting to 0.

Note that the code that puts out the

msgbox saying insufficient funds is on
the form.
