[RESOLVED] IF Function Problem

[martyloo]

I am having trouble with a blackjack game I am creating

I have buttons 1 - 13 (A-K)
I have 5 Textboxes which when the above buttons are pressed displays the values in the textboxes.

I also have one more textbox which adds up the values of the above 5 textboxes to give your Black Jack Total.


The problem I have is if an Ace (11) is in one of the textboxes and the Total Value exceeds 21 i need to have the Ace (11) change its value to 1 instead.

textbox 1 - 5 will be the card values
textbox6.text will be the total Value

I have tried......

if textbox6.text > 21 then and textbox1.text = 11 then textbox1.text = 1

This seems to work fine however it only solves the problem of an Ace (11) appearing in textbox1.text so i tried to repeat the code with the other boxes...

if textbox6.text > 21 then and textbox1.text = 11 then textbox1.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 then and textbox2.text = 11 then textbox2.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 then and textbox3.text = 11 then textbox3.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 then and textbox4.text = 11 then textbox4.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 then and textbox5.text = 11 then textbox5.text = 1

However this does not work and my program freezes?

Can anybody give me some code to resolve the problem. Not really bothered what the problem is just need a solution its driving me crazy

you're confusing your datatypes. numerical datatypes can be greater than, but string datatypes can't. also your if statements are wrong:

if textbox6.text > 21 then and textbox1.text = 11 then textbox1.text = 1

should be:

if cint(textbox6.text) > 21 and cint(textbox1.text) = 11 then textbox1.text = "1"

See again it works for the first box but when I try and repeat it, the program freezes???
