Was wondering how to do these things

check if the letter clicked is in the word
display the letter if it is found
each miss should have a part of the man be built

The exact code would be helpful but even pointers would do

[hericles]

The easiest way to display the image would be to have a complete set of images that are each an increment of the previous one. e.g. head, then head and body, then head, body and one arm, etc. Then you just need to display one image or another to show the hangman.

On the button press for a letter check the char array (or string) that is the correct word and check for the letter's location (remember to code this so it finds ALL instances of the letter not just the first). Then on your result label (which probably starts off as a collection of underscores or similar) add the letter into the correct place.

[stuidabest]

just some basic code 4 it ?

[bluehangook629]

try using 'if contains'

lets say VAR1 is the word and VAR2 is the character you are looking for.

IF VAR1.Contains(VAR2) = TRUE THEN
(your code if true)
ELSE
(your code if not true)
END IF

One simplification I could suggest would be to replace the 26 button handlers (for the letters) with one handler for all of them. Below is the code for doing it for three letters. Just add to the end of the function header for more letters.

Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public Class Form1
.
.
.
    Private Sub Button_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonA.Click, ButtonB.Click, ButtonC.Click
        Dim button As Button = sender
        button.Enabled = False
    End Sub
.
.
.
End Class
