[RESOLVED] Problem with checkbox & radio buttons...

Half the problem solved, but now I need,

If GlassRadioButton.Checked = True Then
, well here's where im stuck, I need Glass to get added to a string or something, so it can be called in myAddNew

?

vb.net Code:

"VALUES"
Dim myValue As Integer ' Base value of frames        
Dim myValue1 As Integer ' Glass or plastic value        
Dim myValue2 As Integer ' Scratch Coating value        
Dim myValue3 As Integer ' UV value        
Dim totalCost As Integer ' Total value        
Dim deposit As Integer ' Deposit value, 20% of total        
myValue = 50 'Base value of frames, always 50        
If GlassRadioButton.Checked = True Then            
    myValue1 = 30        
ElseIf 
    PlasticRadioButton.Checked = True Then            
    myValue1 = 15        
End If        
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then            
    myValue2 = 10        
Else            
    myValue2 = 0        
End If        
If CheckBox2.Checked = True Then            
    myValue3 = 15        
Else            
    myValue3 = 0        
End If        
totalCost = myValue + myValue1 + myValue2 + myValue3 'Gets total by adding all values        
deposit = totalCost * 0.2 'Divides total by 0.2 to find the 20% deposit        
TextBox1.Text = totalCost 'Displays total        
TextBox2.Text = deposit 'Displays deposit        
TextBox3.Text = totalCost - deposit 'Subtracts the deposit from total, to find balance        
PrintButton.Enabled = True        
ViewButton.Enabled = True        
myAddNew(8) 'CALLS ADDNEW METHOD WHEN ADD BUTTON IS CLICKED

have you set a break point and steped though the code? Set it on the first line myValue = 50 then step though line by line and watch what happens to the different values.

ok redone the OP code so its clearer

Code:

---

Dim myValue As Integer ' Base value of frames       
Dim myValue1 As Integer ' Glass or plastic value       
Dim myValue2 As Integer ' Scratch Coating value       
Dim myValue3 As Integer ' UV value       
Dim totalCost As Integer ' Total value       
Dim deposit As Integer ' Deposit value, 20% of total       
myValue = 50 'Base value of frames, always 50       
If GlassRadioButton.Checked = True Then           
    myValue2 = 30       
ElseIf
    PlasticRadioButton.Checked = True Then           
    myValue2 = 15       
End If       
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then           
    myValue2 = 10       
Else           
    myValue2 = 0       
End If       
If CheckBox2.Checked = True Then           
    myValue3 = 15       
Else           
    myValue3 = 0       
End If       
totalCost = myValue + myValue1 + myValue2 + myValue3 'Gets total by adding all values       
deposit = totalCost * 0.2 'Divides total by 0.2 to find the 20% deposit       
TextBox1.Text = totalCost 'Displays total       
TextBox2.Text = deposit 'Displays deposit       
TextBox3.Text = totalCost - deposit 'Subtracts the deposit from total, to find balance       
PrintButton.Enabled = True       
ViewButton.Enabled = True       
myAddNew(8) 'CALLS ADDNEW METHOD WHEN ADD BUTTON IS CLICKED

Figured it, I had myValue2 being used in 2 different places, when it should have been myValue1 for Glass or Plastic...

Wondering how can I make it now so that these values get saved to use in myAddNew?

I had it working as GPTextBox and if I typed glass or plastic in, I had it in myAddNew as GPTextBox.Text corrosponding to Material

what is myAddNew a procedure you wrote? What is 8 in the call?

Okay, for some reason... the Radio button doesn't work when the checkboxes do

---

ok well not sure what you mean by not work? is this you click one radio button then when you click another one they both are selected?

It's working fine now Megalith, my problem was I had a checkbox updating the myValue2 data... and also had a radio button updating it... overlap of error!

Add Code:

Private Sub myAddNew(ByVal CusRef As Integer)
        Dim ConnectionString As String
        Dim SQLString As String
        Dim whichButtonDialogResult As DialogResult
        Dim dbCommand As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand
        Dim Connection As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
        ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data "
        ConnectionString += "Source=" & "Opticians.accdb "
        Connection = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(ConnectionString)
        SQLString = "INSERT INTO SpecSalesTable (CustomerID, EyeTestID, FrameID, DateOfSale, GlassOrPlastic, ScratchCoating, UVFilter, TotalCost, DepositPaid) "
        SQLString += "Values ('" & CustomerIDTextBox.Text & "','" & EyeTestIDTextBox.Text & "','" & StockTextBox.Text & "',#" & Date.Today & "#,'" & GlassPlasticTextBox.Text & "','" & ScratchTextBox.Text & "','" & UVTextBox.Text & "','" & TextBox1.Text & "','" & TextBox2.Text & "')"
        whichButtonDialogResult = MessageBox.Show("Are You Sure You Want To Place This Order?", "Add Record", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question)
        If whichButtonDialogResult = DialogResult.Yes Then
            Connection.Open()
            If CBool(ConnectionState.Open) Then
                dbCommand = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand(SQLString, Connection)
                Try
                    dbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
                    MessageBox.Show("Order placed, SpecSalesTable Updated! ")
                Catch ex As Exception
                    MessageBox.Show(" Error placing order... ")    'IF ERROR DISPLAYS MESSAGE
                End Try
 
            End If
 
        End If
 
        Connection.Close()
    End Sub

If I'm being completely honest, I don't understand what the 8 is there for, just needed an integer or else I got errors from it :eek2:

Code:

---

        Dim totalCost As Integer ' Total value
        Dim deposit As Integer ' Deposit value, 20% of total

        totalCost= 50 'Base value of frames, always 50

        Select Case GPCboBx.Text ' Combobox Text
            Case "Glass"
                totalCost += 30
            Case "Plastic"
                totalCost += 15
        End Select

        Select Case ScratchCboBx.Text ' Combobox Text
            Case "Yes"
                totalCost += 10
        End Select

        Select Case UVCboBx.Text ' Combobox Text
            Case "Yes"
                totalCost += 15
        End Select

        deposit = totalCost * 0.2 'Divides total by 0.2 to find the 20% deposit

        TextBox1.Text = totalCost 'Displays total
        TextBox2.Text = deposit 'Displays deposit
        TextBox3.Text = totalCost - deposit 'Subtracts the deposit from total, to find balance

        PrintButton.Enabled = True
        ViewButton.Enabled = True
        myAddNew(8) 'CALLS ADDNEW METHOD WHEN ADD BUTTON IS CLICKED

Then create variables in your "myAddNew" method for the values you wish to use in it.

Lets start with these two lines (really the second one I guess)

Code:

---

SQLString = "INSERT INTO SpecSalesTable (CustomerID, EyeTestID, FrameID, DateOfSale, GlassOrPlastic, ScratchCoating, UVFilter, TotalCost, DepositPaid) "
SQLString += "Values ('" & CustomerIDTextBox.Text & "','" & EyeTestIDTextBox.Text & "','" & StockTextBox.Text & "',#" & Date.Today & "#,'" & GlassPlasticTextBox.Text & "','" & ScratchTextBox.Text & "','" & UVTextBox.Text & "','" & TextBox1.Text & "','" & TextBox2.Text & "')"

GlassPlasticTextBox : We are not using this any more so
in the Dim section lets decalare a new variable

vb.net Code:

DIM glassOrPlasting as STRING = String.Empty

Next we text the radiobuton

vb.net Code:

IF GlassRadioButton.Checked = True Then
   glassOrPlastic = "Glass Lens"
ELSEIF PlasticRadioButton.Checked = True Then
   glassOrPlastic = "Plastic Lens"
ELSE 
   glassOrPlastic = "What do you mean?"
END IF

Now you replace GlassPlasticTextBox.Text with the glassOrPlastic variable

Does this give you an idea to carry on with?

Gary, can't thank you enough...!
