Please help me

Hi I'm new to vb and would like to know the code for doing mathematical equations e.g. adding, multiplying, with textboxes and comboboxes, which saves the answer to a invisible textbox/combobox to be retrieved later
thanks
buzzlightyear :D

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Text2.Text = Val(Text1.Text) + Val(Combo1.Text)
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Text2.Visible = False
End Sub

I would store the number in a variable though :)

Thanks peet
but how do you place brackets in the code as to make one step before the other. e.g. 2+(4-1) and what is the sign for multiplying and where is it placed
thanks

You can do as you have wrote 2+(4-1). ie.

Code:

---

Text2.Text = val(Text3.Text) - (Val(Text1.Text) + Val(Combo1.Text))
'or
Text2.Text = 2 + (4 - 1)

---

The code follows the same rules of maths... totaling calculations in brackets before calculating the total.

and from left to right.

The sign for multiplication is the asterisk (*)

VB Code:

z = x * 5 - (3 * y) / 12

Brackets, Or, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction. The same rule follow for math eqn's in VB
