Hi everyone.
I'm attempting to use my limited knowledge of programming to create something to assist a child with disabilities in communication with others through images. Basically I will make a program in VB6 which will run on a PDA and will allow a child to select from a series of images in a number of categories and display them on the screen.
An important feature is the ability for the images to be updated by the user in the future. Because of this I was hoping to store the images in a database linked to the program.
Each category (food, places, people etc) will have page will have 6-8 thumbnail images which can be selected. Next/Back buttons will be used to navigate through the images. Instead of actually going to a new page I want the database to just select the next images in the list and display them in the same boxes. This way images can be added to the database by the user indefinitely and the order of the images can be changed using just the database. At this stage selecting the images will just make them fullscreen, but this may be changed later.
Sorry it took so long to get that out. Basically I'm just wondering if you guys could give me an idea whether this is a feasible way to do the project, and if anyone could give me an idea of what functions and such I will need.
Thank you in advance
