Hey guys

New to programming completely, but been reading some books and having a muck around on VB 10 Express.

Im in the process of creating a keypad which I can punch in numbers 1- 9 to enter a password. I have 9 buttons for the numbers. I've got the keys to print the numbers into the textbox above but when I press a second key it replaces the first number in the text box.

My question is, how do I make the numbers go in sequence, so instead of

(Press 1) - 1 -
(Press 2) - 2 - (clears 1)

I want it to go like

(Press 1) - 1 -
(Press 2) - 12 -
and so on...

Coulden't find this anywhere else.
Cheers guys!

You need to concatenate the strings:

Textbox.Text = "1"
Textbox.Text = Textbox.Text & "2" 'That would work, but you can also write it as:
Textbox.Text &= "2"

One more question.

When I input a number it displays as a number in the textbox. How can I make it change to a * when im typing it out?

The textbox has a password character property: UseSystemPasswordChar.

Setting that to True may be sufficient.
