Using an Integer To Store a number

Hi, i am just woundering if anyone can help me i am working in VB6.

i am wanting to store a number like pounds in a integer and then lets say the player wishes to buy somthing like a oven that costs £599 and as 1000 starting money this is the code but its not working does anyone know why.

General Decorations

VB Code:

'Integer that Stores record of the players money
Dim intmoney As Integer

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
 
'This sets the players money to 1000 for starting money when the form loads
intmoney = 1000
end sub

VB Code:

Private Sub oven2_Click()
If intmoney >= 599 Then lockOven2.Visible = False
intmoney = -599
Label4.Caption = "You Bought The New Item"
 
 
If intmoney < 599 Then Label4.Caption = "Sorry But You Can Not Afford This Item"
End Sub

by the way lockOven2 is a label that is covering and hiding the second oven gaphic so with that not visible you second oven will be.

sorry if this is a bit of an low level vb question


thanks in advance

Nearly there, try this:

VB Code:

Private Sub oven2_Click()
 
If intmoney >= 599 Then 
   lockOven2.Visible = False
   intmoney = intmoney - 599
   Label4.Caption = "You Bought The New Item"
Else
   Label4.Caption = "Sorry But You Can Not Afford This Item"
End If
 
End Sub

Shouldn't it be?

VB Code:

'...
intmoney = [B]intmoney[/B] - 599
'...

You didn't say what was not working but I'm guessing that the amount of money in intMoney isn't correct. If so then it looks like this is what you want to do.

VB Code:

Private Sub oven2_Click()
If intmoney >= 599 Then lockOven2.Visible = False
    [HL="#FFFF80"]intmoney = intmoney - 599[/HL]
Label4.Caption = "You Bought The New Item"
 
 
If intmoney < 599 Then Label4.Caption = "Sorry But You Can Not Afford This Item"
End Sub

It should be like this:

VB Code:

Private Sub oven2_Click()
    If intmoney < 599 Then
        Label4.Caption = "Sorry But You Can Not Afford This Item"
    ElseIf intmoney >= 599 Then
        lockOven2.Visible = False
        intmoney = intmoney - 599
        Label4.Caption = "You Bought The New Item"
    End If
End Sub
