Reading Files

Hi all,

I have a little prob wif my app. You see, I have a text box that lets users save a message even with multiline.

Problem:
I'm trying to load it into a label control but not sure how to go about doing it

any help appreciated

thanx

Maybe something along the lines of

    Open "c:\test\test.txt" For Input As #1
    
    Label1.Caption = Input(LOF(1), #1)
    
    Close #1

If I understand correctly, this code will set the caption of the label equal to the text in the field. This example uses the LostFocus event of the textbox, so as soon as you exit the text field the Label will change.

Private Sub Text1_LostFocus()
    Label1.Caption = Text1.Text
End Sub

Remember to set the width of your label and to set autosize and wordwrap to true.

Hi Jbart,

i know you can use that but the file is changed using another program

Great. Then the code that Iain (with an "i") posted should do the trick.
