    VB 2005 Newbie Questions

    Hi All,

    Sorry for these really pathetic questions, but I have been playing on VB 2005 today, and I am stumped.

    First question

    I have created a sub to calculate the difference in days of 2 datepickers and for the result to be displayed in a text box, but I cant get the result to display until I click in the text box and press a key...is there a way to generate the result without an event? The code I have used is as follows:

    Dim date1 As New Date
    Dim date2 As New Date
    Dim difference As TimeSpan

    date1 = DateTimePicker1 .Value
    date2 = DateTimePicker2 .Value

    difference = date1.Subtract( date2)

    textbox1.text = difference.tota ldays.

    Lastly (for now)

    I have created a combo box which contains 3 items, is there a way to get a result populated into a text box varying for each choice.

    For example

    First class (result in text box = £50.00)
    Second Class (result in text box = £60.00)

    Etc..

    Many thanks in advance.

      Firstly try refreshing your text box

      textbox1.refres h

      and

      try adding indexs to the combo box
