Stupid VB Math Question(makes me fea like a newbie)

[Deathfrog]

ok, i know its dumb to ask, but how do i take a selected number from a listbox (EG List1.text would have it) and add it to annother listbox number and show the results in a label or textbox? i have been trying at this for about 2 hours now and nothing i have tried has worked.
Thanx

It looks simple, but it seems you are not telling the whole story. Anyway, supposing that the text proprety has only numbers (no spaces):

text1.text=cint(list1.text)+cint(list2.text)

I think this is it.

CCur	Any valid expression to	Currency
CDbl	Any valid expression to	Double
CInt	Any valid expression to	Integer
CLng	Any valid expression to	Long
CSng	Any valid expression to	Single

Try other functions if the number isn't integer.

well, i tried that, but it does the same thing, just puts in annother umber, 2+2 makes 22.

Are you sure you used the explicit casting functions the Goodreams mentioned? You are getting a string concatenation rather than an integer addition by the looks of it. The text property contains string data - make sure you cast this to a numeric data type like integer before you add it. Use code just like Goodreams suggested, but with your control names.

Try this:

text1.text=val(list1.text) + val(list2.text)

This must work.

Allright! it works, thanks

Shouldn't use val, it isn't local aware, use the functions Goodreams posted.
