GUI component interaction
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Almost every application needs to communicate with the user in some way. Therefore, a substantial part of the code deals with the interaction of program logic with GUI components. Typically, the following is needed:
- put values into input fields under program control
- read and check input from the user
- pop up dialogs to query the user for further information
The task: For a minimal "application", write a program that presents a form with three components to the user: A numeric input field ("Value") and two buttons ("increment" and "random").
The field is initialized to zero. The user may manually enter a new value into the field, or increment its value with the "increment" button. Entering a non-numeric value should be either impossible, or issue an error message.
Pressing the "random" button presents a confirmation dialog, and resets the field's value to a random value if the answer is "Yes".
(This task may be regarded as an extension of the task Simple windowed application).

In VB, windows are usually created in the IDE. The generated code is hidden from the programmer unless viewed outside of the IDE. For the sake of this task, I have included that code.
Note that there are other methods of validating the entered value. The method used is dependant on the program's requirements.
