mathmatical signs

[lee123]

how do you do this:

in fractions they have a numerator & denominator. Ok I'm making a fraction project and i can't get this to work:

i have four textboxes two of them are numerators and the other two are Denomiators and a label in my code i want to say:

IF  Text1.text <  Text3.text  Then
      label1.caption = "Proper Fraction"
End IF

But when i enter in a number like 50 in the text1 and a 100 in the Text3 the Label doesn't show the Caption.

But when i enter in a number like 5 in the text1 and a 10 in the text3 the Caption "Proper Fraction" displays.

Why Is that? How can i get it to show when the number (text1) is less than the Number (text3) when I Have Numbers like that. Am I forgetting to do something?

Am I forgetting to do something?

Yes, using the CInt() function on Text1.text and Text3.text.
Hope this helps.

I have never used this function before explain more please..

The expression you put between the brackets gets converted to an integer.
Even if Text1is filled in with only numbers, Text1.text returns a string,and CInt() will set this straight. If a non-numeral character is in this string, the function shall return 0. CInt() doesn't only work with strings, but also with other types of data.

ok i have changed the names But this is what i think your saying (please correct me if I'm wrong):

Private Sub Num1_LostFocus()
If CInt(Num1) < CInt(Num2) Then
    Label3.Caption = "<-- Proper Fraction"
    Label3.FontBold = True
    Label3.FontSize = 18
    Num2.FontSize = 40
End If
End Sub

Hi,

You need to take care of Initialising the label..
Also use VAL function instead of Int.. CINt causes error if > 32k

[code=vb]
Private Sub Num1_LostFocus( )
If Val(Num1) < Val(Num2) Then
Label3.Caption = "<-- Proper Fraction"
Label3.FontBold = True
Label3.FontSize = 18
Num2.FontSize = 40
Else
Label3.Caption = "<-- ImProper Fraction"
End If
End Sub
[/code]

Also write the same code in Num2_Lostfocus. .
