Integers and Text Boxes.

[Bongo2k]

Im having major problems getting a text box to display my integers. Ive declared the variable as a integer and set it to 0, but whenever i try and set the text of a text box to the variable name i get: Form1.h(762): error C2664: 'void System::Windows::Forms::TextBox::set_Text(System::String __gc *)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'int' to 'System::String __gc *'. Now i know what the error means, it cant convert a number to a letter. But i set the variable as a letter! Its been annoying me alot. Can anyone help?

Have you added a control variable to your edit box?
If you haven't, right click on the edit box and click add class. If you have, perhaps you should use the _itoa() function.

Hope that helps

i havne't tried this, but you might be able to cast the int to char *... not sure if it willl work...

int a=0
char * b= new char [100]
b=(char *) a;
