[RESOLVED] Text box color change if the value is in negative!!

Hi,

I have a simple querry here. There is a txtbox (txtTotal). What I need to know is, if there is a positive value in txtTotal (Ex. 25) the txtbox backcolor will be in blue. It a negative value in that txtbox (Ex. -25) its backcolor should be in Red color. txtTotal values are not constant values.

How can I do this?

Regards,

off the top of my head:

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    If Text1.Text < 0 Then
        Text1.BackColor = vbRed
    Else
        Text1.BackColor = vbBlue
    End If
End Sub

Hi,

I am getting only the red color in both cases whether it is a negative value or positive value.

VB Code:

Public Sub ColorChange()
    If Text1.Text < 0 Then
        Text1.BackColor = vbRed
    Else
        Text1.BackColor = vbBlue
    End If
End Sub

Close. But, remember, the contents of a textbox, by default, is a string. In order to evaluate it numerically, it must be converted.

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
If Val(Text1.Text) < 0 Then
   Text1.BackColor = vbRed
Else
   Text1.BackColor = vbBlue
End If
End Sub

This works for me and I added the ForeColor code to make the text value a little easier on the eyes:

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    With Text1
        If .Text < 0 Then
            .BackColor = vbRed
            .ForeColor = vbWhite
        Else
            .BackColor = vbBlue
            .ForeColor = vbWhite
        End If
    End With
End Sub

Thanks for the help. It works fine.
