Please Help!!

I have a textbox and a command button,i want to be able to clear the text box message when i click the command button ..and then have another message appear when the previous message disappears..i want to accomplish this by using just one textbox and just one command button...
Thanks :0)

How about 2 text boxes??

Put this code in your command button.

Text1.Text = ""
Text1.Text = "This is the new text"

Thanks for replying too you both..but i can accomplish it with two text boxes..
but i want to do it with just one textbox and one command button

Martinliss: I Tried that code already,but when ever i use it , the event procedure for the button just prints the last text that was entered

Here's how i sort of accomplish this ..

Private Sub Form_Load()
Text1.Text = "My First message"
End Sub

Private Sub Command_Click()
Text1.Text = ""
Text1.Text = "My Second Message"
Text1.Text = "My Third Message" <-------The Program Just ignores The Second
Text1.Text and inputs the third one!


I know it is possible to do what i want becuase i have a keygenerator that was made with visual basic and it changes the text in the text box with only one button.

But in any case, thanks

Sophtware,

Try this code in the command button:

Code:

---

Static ncount As Integer
Select Case ncount
  Case 0
    Text1.Text = "Message2"
  Case 1
    Text1.Text = "Message3"
End Select
ncount = ncount + 1

---

Hope this helps

Basically you want a pause, function.... However Visual Basic Doesn't have one, but it can be easily created.

Create a Module, and place this code in it.

Sub Pause (duratn As Integer)

Let curent = timer

Do Until Timer - curent >= duratn
DoEvents
Loop

End Sub


Now you can pause for a certain amount of seconds when ever you want.

Example: Pause(1)
would pause for 1 second.... Now just place this between, text2.text and text3.text...

Hope that helps

Try to make Module for this command by itself, if not possible make sure there is no Option Explicit in the module or this would not work....

PSS

Text1.Text = ""
Text1.Text = "My Second Message"
Pause(2)
Text1.Text = "My Third Message" <-------The Program Just ignores The Second
Text1.Text and inputs the third one!

fallnwrld: Your right, VB doesn't have a Pause function, but it does have a Wait API.

Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

So Wait(2000) will pause the code for 2 seconds.

Im a dinosaur...still using vb3, so had to create my own....sucks doesnt it

Thanks for all of your help...i dont know how to use modules yet so i am going to have to read that section in my textbook.
