CSC-162 Final Project Media Library

CSC-162 Final Project

Media Library

Create a program that will keep track of a media library to store movies. It will store all of the data using arrays. Since we have not learned how to use files or a database the information will not be stored anywhere and will be lost once the program ends. The program will keep track of a movie’s title, actors/actresses with characters, movie length, and year of the movie. All data will be stored in arrays.

Arrays needed for Movie Library

· Title

· Length

· Year

· Rating (index value of drop down)

· Actors/characters (must be able to have more than one actor per movie)

· Example: Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark

Required Controls

· Multiple Forms

· Textboxes

· Labels

· List boxes

· Dropdown (Combo box)

· Menus

· Splash Screen

· About Dialog

Other Requirements

· Use Module file

· Use of non-event procedures (procedures defined by you)

· Must prompt user on exit to make sure they want to quit the program

· Must prompt user on save to make sure they want to save the changes

· Must prompt user on delete to make sure they want to delete a media item

· Must use variables within the procedures and functions

· ALL input fields must be validated - is numeric, is the field empty etc.

· All numeric fields must be converted using CInt or CDec and assigned to variables

Bonus option

· Store data in a file - worth up to 10 pts.

Movie Selected

· Dropdowns must be populated

· Disable all fields

Add New Movie

· Enable all of the fields

· Set focus to the title field

· Clear all of the fields

Save a New Movie

· All fields must be filled in to add a movie

· Movie cannot already exist in the list to be added to the list

· Year of the movie must be numeric

· Length of the movie must be numeric (total number of minutes)

· Display messages to user for each of the above error conditions

· Make sure there is room in the arrays, if not resize the arrays

· Current selected item in the list box of movies should be the movie just added

· Disable all of the controls again

Item Selected in Movie List

· Update fields to display the movie details including any actors listed.

Add New Actors to a Movie

· Ask how many actors to add

· Add each actor and the name of their character

Delete an Actor from the List

· Select an actor from the list for a movie and delete them

Update the Actors list for a Movie

· Add an actor to the list for a movie only if there is room on the list
