Question about the code..

[nvc944]

I can now place text into text box2 however if I want to copy more than 1 word like a paragraph.. so command1

text1.text = " hello" works but what if I want to diplay a paragraph?

[Antonio Begue]

use MultiLine = true in textbox properties

[dimava]

after you set the multiline to true, you could do something like this:

text1.text = "Hello World this is my first line" & vbnewline & "Hello world this is my second line"

and so on

Thank you for the help ok that worked but I have yet another question.. I have a text box ( let's say I put in a name like "Nelson") in that text box, and once my command button is pressed (that sends a sentence over yet to another text box) I would like it to place nelson into a certain part of that paragraph.

so someone enters a word into textbox 1 I would like that word placed in textbox 2 in the middle of a sentence. or end ect.. thank you.

Well, you'd have to decide where in the text in textbox2 you want it, first. The beginning or end are trivial:

textbox2 = textbox1 & " " & textbox2   'beginning
textbox2 = textbox2 & " " & textbox1   'end

I'm not sure of the function to insert in the middle of a string; you could use Replace() and hack it a bit, but there's probably a better way.

An easy way to do that is to use variables. In code you can do something like this

Option Explicit
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Text2.Text = "Hello " & Text1.Text & ", How are you?"
End Sub

Yes, but what if you have existing text in text2 and want to insert into that? I couldn't find an Insert() function in VB, although other languages have one.

quick question I want to disply a webpage within my VB do I use a label?

for example I want it to display withing a box..

so www.lycos.com (entered in textbox1)
and would like it to
display withing another text box or label on the form?

Right click your tool box, goto components
scroll down and put a check next to Microsoft Internet Controls

and then you would use something like webbrowser1.navigate text1.text

[Antonio Begue]

To insert text from a textbox to another you can do something like this:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Text1.Text = "Name"
Text2.Text = "Hello how are you"
End Sub
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Text2.Text = Left(Text2.Text, 5) & " " & Text1.Text & " " & Mid(Text2.Text, 7)
End Sub
