a button that adds text to a textbox

[iDaz]

hello! i have a textbox, and 2 buttons. this is what i would like:

when i click button 1, "1" is added to the textbox. when i click button 2, "2" is added to the textbox.

i have tried to do this myself, but when ever i click one of the buttons, it clears the digit that is already in the textbox, and then adds a new digit. i want it to keep adding digit after digit. eg. if i press button 1 three time, then button 2 twice, the textbox shows "11122". then if i press button 1 again, it adds a one to the end of the text, making it read "111221", etc.

any help would be much appreicated!

No problem!

If your textbox was called TextBox1 then after

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

for each button put

TextBox1.Text = ""

Then under that should be your code to add the text in.

Hope that helps!

Just another quick suggestion it its any easier in your Command#_Click sub section you could just enter something as simple as

TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & 2 'For Command1
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & 1 'For Command2

Not Sure you would find easier to work with but a quick demo is below

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Text1.Text = Text1.Text & 1
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
    Text1.Text = Text1.Text & 2
End Sub

Kind Regards
Devon.

Suppose Your TextBox be Text1.
When you press a Button, Say Cmd_One (for 1)
Write the Code
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "1"

When you press a Button, Say Cmd_Two (for 2)
Write the Code
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "2"

Now it will Work Effectively.

Hehe, I just re-read your post and realised I gave you the totally wrong answer....

lol something nice and easy would be

Dim Temp as String
Temp = TextBox1.Text
Temp = Temp & 1     'For button 1 and ... Temp = Temp & 2 for button 2
TextBox1.Text = Temp
