Making a simple scramble letter board.

[Justin M]

Hi there folks!

The students really like this letter scramble board I made a few weeks back. The idea is like Boggle. The letters are all scrambled, they go up and click on the letters to make the word. What I would like to do though, is put a textbox on called WordTXT, so for each letter they click on it, it is like an onscreen keyboard, it goes into the textbox.

I know how to you can put something simple like WordTXt.text = "A", but would I need to append the textbox if the student was trying to spell something like "Apple"?

The only other issue is whatever gets added on would have to go on the right side of what text was already there, so it gets added after the previous letters.

Thanks!!

Sounds like simple concatenation? Or am I missing something?

WordTxt.Text = WordTxt.Text & "someLetter"

[Justin M]

Awesome, thank you!

Let's say I wanted to backspace a letter, is there a way to press a button a mimic that too?

[LaVolpe]

Using the on-screen keyboard analogy, when the backspace button is clicked:

WordTxt.Text = Left(WordText.Text, Len(WordText.Text) - 1)

Justin, this is really basic stuff

Yeah very basic stuff, kinda hard to believe that someone who has been a member for over 8 years and has over 2000 posts does not already know these things, seems you would have had need to do what you are asking in the OP several hundred if not thousands of times already.
