Newbie needs some help =(

[JonTaylor]

hi,
I am new to VB and I want to create a very simple programme which does the following..
When you type in a piece of text, a pop-up says something about what you entered e.g Say I typed in Hi, a pop-up would say hello. If i type in, booyakasha, a pop-up would say..... erm..
please help

mhh...
one way would be to use the select case function

place a textbox and a commandbutton at you're form, and paste the following code into form1

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Select Case Text1.Text
    Case "hi"
        MsgBox "Hello"
    Case "booyakasha"
        MsgBox "...erm.."
    Case "vb"
        MsgBox "Visual Basic"
    Case Else
        MsgBox "=)"
End Select
End Sub

hope that helps...
taLON

thanks very much! I a have so much trouble with VB compaired to C++.

Maybe I should stick so my HTML and javas =(

if you put:
Option compare Text
as the first line in the declarations section of your form, the user can enter UPPER or lower case and the select statement will still evaluate correctly

cheers for the help,

there I have problems with the code as when I add extra cases, It won't see the others... is this because of the indenting or something?
