help? textbox

Hi

I am new to vfp and my syntax knowledge is not very good actually its quite bad. I was wondering. How do you recieve user's input through a keyboard in a textbox (cmdtxtbox) and then use that input and save it as a variable (userInput)

Thanx for the help

if you have a textbox named, for example, text1 you will find the "user's input" in:

thisform.text1.Value

as variable.

Use the controlsource property on the text box to the same name as your variable, then use REPLACE() to update your table. Make sure you have defined the variable with your setup routine.

thanx for the help i will give that a go.

Then I suggest that you go to http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/fund6.htm and grab a copy of Fundamentals: Building Visual Studio Applications on a Visual FoxPro 6.0 Foundation. It will help with your learning curve.
