    Bound textboxes in VB2008 type conversion problem

    Thanks to both of you (PRPhx and Sorwen) for your advice re the debug problem. I found the text boxes problem - I hate to admit it, but it was a scope problem which is now resolved. However, the debug problem is killing me because of the problem of not being able to single-step and view what's...

    Bound textboxes in VB2008 type conversion problem

    Thanks for your reply. I have since determined that the problem is not type conversion but the fact that I can't read the data from the text box. The textbox contains the correct data (a five digit integer value) but I can't put that data in a listbox, another textbox or a variable. In other...

    textbox arrays problem

    Hi Bob! Yesterday, I did a work-around since nothing else worked. I am now entering the entire text into a character array and processing that, adding spaces to account for line length/wrapping. Then I copy the array to the 125 text boxes. This seems to work OK. However, in the interest of...

    textbox arrays problem

    Re BobRodes reply: Today, I deleted the 125 boxes and started from scratch just to make sure all indexes were correct. - Same problem. After reading your response, I checked tabindex and they were all crazy, so I reset them so that each corresponded to the txtbox index. Unfortunately, same...

    Flight Simulator Inquiry

    Are there any FS folks who have VB6 code to read the magdec.bgl file in MSFS? If so, would you be willing to share it for non-commercial use? Or, do you have any tips on where I can find such code? (I've already tried flightsim.com and avsim) Thanks for any hints or help! Fingers
