help with C++ please

[traxxas]

hey i just moved over from visual basic too c++ and im making a little prog to see what i can do, in a portion of my progr i want the user to enter the word "press" and press the button next to it and then the textbox would say "pressed"

in vb the code would be:

If text1.text = "press" then text1.text = "pressed"

now, in C++ i put in this code:

if(textBox5->Text == "press&quot
{
textBox5->set_Text("pressed&quot
}

but that doesnt work, it compiles but doesnt work in the program, please help if possibal, thanks guys

note: im using C++ .net 2003, and this is a win32 app, NOT a console app

First of all, is textBox5 a pointer to a class? Next, where is the debugger saying the error is at? The code you posted looks all right to me if the class members are good and textBox5 is a pointer to a class.

i get no error, it just doesnt do anything, i heard somewere that the == is the problem but i dont know and textBox5 is a textbox and ->Text is the value that is being looked at

this "could" be right. post your codes, and the testBox5 class. In order for the above code to work, your class:

1. needs to have member variable Text public.
2. need to properly overload the == operator
3. textBox5 needs to be a pointer to the class

is it possibal i can get a sample of the correct way to do this code

again heres the code i have:

private: System::Void button9_Click(System::Object * sender, System::EventArgs * e)
if(textBox5->Text == "press&quot
{
textBox5->set_Text("pressed&quot
}

private: System::Void button10_Click(System::Object * sender, System::EventArgs * e)
{
//code goes here
}

but what code summons the form?, thanks for your help guys
