Re: OT: Looking for som Basic/easy test questions..

While that is a good question, neither of them would get it. Maybe I
will put it on there anyway.. One of them right now is struggling to
figure out how to set the focus on a control even though I told them to
look at focus.  Neither had any real programming experience. So it has
been a challenge.   Some additional questions that I have now are:


9.      If something happens, an error - or maybe an important step
completes and you want to display information to your user as a pop up
dialog - what would you use?

10.     Write a declaration statement to create a variable called
TextPlaceholder that will hold some length of text characters. Then set
that variable to your name.

11.     Write a declaration statement to create a variable called
NumberPlaceHolder that will hold a whole number. Then set that variable
to your age.

12.     Write a declaration statement to create a variable called
MoneyPlaceHodler that will hold a  number equivalent to money values,
ie.  4.35.  Then set that variable to the last price you paid for a
gallon of gas.

13.     What keyword do you use to define a variable that does not
change?

give them this list of events:

keypress, enter, validated, keydown, keyup,  lostfocus, validating,
gotfocus, leave

ask them to put them in the correct sequence for the scenario where the
user
tabs into an edit control changes it's value/text and tabs out.

I have two brand new developers that have been working for two months
now. Some of that has been self study.  I wanted to come up with a very
basic Winform type test to see how they are doing.  Some of the
questions are below. I would appreciate it if you had suggestions for
some other very basic questions.  Thanks.



Stacey

1.       What control would you use if you wanted to display static
information on a screen to a user?

2.       What control would you use if you wanted to display information
to a user that the user could possibly type over?

3.       On most controls, including the two in the previous  questions
- what property do you set that controls the string displayed?

4.       What event is fired when the users presses a button?

5.       What main control holds the other GUI controls that makes the
screen that is displayed to your user in a program?

6.       What is this called? (checkbox image)

7.       What is this called?  (radion button image)
