How-To... - Tip Of The Day

This how-to shows you how you can make a Tip Of The Day screen, which features in a lot of applications such as Windows 95/98, Word and Paint Shop Pro. It is very simple to make a TOTD screen, but can make a program much better.

The way I have written the code is that it reads from a file (tips.txt) which is on the root of the C:\ drive and stores each line in an array. Then it displays the first tip - click the Next Tip button will cycle through each tip. You could make the tips inside the code instead of a outside file, and you could also make a random tip display each time the screen is shown. But I'll leave that up to you.
