Sorry but that is dangerous. It only works if Option Strict is Off.

Use

Textbox1.Text =str(8+2)

I think you need something like that:

Code:

---


 Dim i As Byte
        Dim str As String = TextBox2.Text
        Dim car As Char
        While i < str.Length
            car = str.Chars(i)
            If Char.IsSymbol(car) Then
                Dim str1 As String = str.Substring(0, i)
                Dim str2 As String = str.Substring(i + 1)
                Dim dec1 As Decimal = Decimal.Parse(str1)
                Dim dec2 As Decimal = Decimal.Parse(str2)
                Dim res As Decimal
                Select Case car
                    Case Is = "+"
                        res = dec1 + dec2
                    Case Is = "-"
                        res = dec1 - dec2
                    Case Is = "/"
                        res = dec1 / dec2
                    Case Is = "*"
                        res = dec1 * dec2
                End Select
                str = res.ToString
                Exit While
            End If
            i += 1
        End While
        TextBox2.Text = str
    End Sub

It's not fully tested and you have to be careful !!
With more time, it's possible do better, obviously
Good job:)

VB Code:

Dim ans as integer     'or long, double, etc
 
ans = 8 + 2
 
Textbox1.Text = Cstr(ans)

Hi alextyx,



WOW! Do you use sledgehammers to crush olives over there
:bigyello:

Hi Taxes, happy to see you again:D
Really, probably I miss the request, it's always the same problem with language I think. You have not idea in how many threads I don't dare to enter, bacuase I'm not sure about the request.:cry:
Anyway, I think Loner wants to put its enter in a textbox and then have the result in another or in the same textbox, but also writing its entire formula in a textbox, too!!!
So you can't start from 8+2 but from the string "8+2" (Textbox2.text in my example) . Meet the difference and let me know your impression:) :wave:
If, once again, I missed the request.....then:blush:
;)
Loner, which was your request?:confused:

Hi alextyx,

You may have a point. In which case:

textbox1.text=str(val(textbox2.text)+val(textbox3.text))

Perhaps taxes, but I understood Loner wanted to write its formula, using a single textbox like the display of a calculator!
This is the problem!:(
If you use two textboxes for your input, then you have to use a button to define which kind of operation you want to perfom: adding, multipling, ecc.... isn't it?
I think the problem was:

I have in my textbox1.text (I use textbox2, to be original:D )the string "8+2" or "12,3*4" or...so on. Give me the result!

Obviously if I'm the only who thought so, among many english people, probably I was wrong, but my approach is for that kind of problem. :)

Hi alextyx,

Yes. Valid comment and quite right. The problem you then have is the "Rules of Arithmetic".

I think I will just use a calculator:wave:

I think using a calculator is the right choice, too.:)
I only tried to give an answer at Loner's question, or what I thought It was its question! But...if Loner confirm my line, dear Taxes, you will have to study italian, to be punished!:p :p :p
Bye:wave:

That's not a bad idea. My favourite singer is Paverotti (I've even named my Rottweiller after him:bigyello: ) and I can't understand a word he sings.

Wait a minute... do you mean the Latin I learned at school is no good over there now:confused:

First lesson: PavArotti not PavErotti!
About latin....uhm...I don't know if it's useful know, perhaps it depends on the last Latin Service Pack you installed. If you kept your language system upgraded until the 16th century's releases, it should be good enough! :p
bye:wave:

yes your right alex...i want the user to input any no. in the single textbox add,mul,div or sub... and when he press the enter key it gives a sufficient answer...
simple calculator...

tanx guys..

perhaps this.

VB Code:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
      If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
         Dim re As New Regex("\d+\s*(\*|\/|\+|\-)\s*\d+")
         If Not (re.Match(TextBox1.Text)).Success Then
            MessageBox.Show("invalid")
         Else
            Dim arr() As String = Regex.Split(TextBox1.Text, "\s*[*,/,+,-]\s*")
            If (Regex.Match(TextBox1.Text, "\s*\+\s*")).Success Then
               TextBox1.Text = Integer.Parse(arr(0)) + Integer.Parse(arr(1))
            ElseIf (Regex.Match(TextBox1.Text, "\s*\-\s*")).Success Then
               TextBox1.Text = Integer.Parse(arr(0)) - Integer.Parse(arr(1))
            ElseIf (Regex.Match(TextBox1.Text, "\s*\/\s*")).Success Then
               TextBox1.Text = Integer.Parse(arr(0)) / Integer.Parse(arr(1))
            ElseIf (Regex.Match(TextBox1.Text, "\s*\*\s*")).Success Then
               TextBox1.Text = Integer.Parse(arr(0)) * Integer.Parse(arr(1))
            End If
         End If
      End If
   End Sub

i don't know if this is the efficient one.

tanx monk...it really helps..

im just curious and a stupid one..

Taaaaaxeeeessss....yu-hu.....did you buy the dictionary?:D :D :D
Good morning to all you, dear friends. Excuse me (and Taxes). In this thread we have jocked a little. Interesting code B.M., it seems better than mine. I have to study the use of regex! :)

bisaya dictionary? :bigyello: btw, thanx alextyx. well, i'm proud to be a bisaya [filipino] :bigyello:
