[VB6] Inserting text into a TextBox

[ChaotixTM]

I just wanted to know how do you make a CommandButton (clicked) insert text into a TextBox. Not change the text!

[-Viper-]

function CommandButton_onClick()
     textbox.value = "text"
end function

if your are using a variable for the text, then it would not be in quotes

[Dragoon]

i thought it was like this

put this in your button code

textbox.text = "text here"

not sure, been doing vb.net for too long to remember exactly

[Nodiaque]

textbox???

txtbox.text = "text"

for field like label, it's

label.caption = "text"

[Quboid]

You can just do:

textbox = "text"

The textbox object's primary item is .text...

if you have text inside the the textbox and want to join it up

then

textbox.text = textbox.text & "whatever text"

What the heck do you mean insert text not change it? How can you insert and not change? Winston's code is what you want if you want the original text in there too.

excuse me?...

well sorry you're too good for us, and i have posted the code that would insert wateva text into a textbox, if you're saying that a texbox itself already contains text and you want to add more text into it, you do the following

textbox.text = textbox.text & " whatever text"

where the whatever text is the new text u wanna add into the textbox, and the textbox.text &, concactenates the pre-existing text in the textbox with the additional new text you would like to INSERT

[N1CK]

To insert text after...

As winston said...

textbox.text = textbox.text & "whatever text"

If you want to be able to type text in, make sure the locked attribute is set to FALSE.

Get off your high horse ya ***, if you read the replies correctly, Winston answered your question.

And what do you mean never help??? You've only asked one question here on neowin, a question that could have been answered using Google

[anthonycara]

if you want a button that inserts text to the current cursor position, you do

Private Sub Buttton1_Click
           TextBox.SelText = "Text Here"
End Sub

Seltext is a variable which contains the current selected text or cursor positiion in the text file. You can also change it, as shown.
