[MJB3K]

Hi, how would i check for a space in a textbox when some types /nick username for example?

then it would change a caption to username??

e.g.
So in a textbox a user would type /nick MJB3K and the caption would change to MJB3K.

any ideas??



Regards,

Martin

I would suggest using the "Change" function of the textbox, which will automatically update your label, or form or whatever you want to update. If you want to do it another way, you can use the "LostFocus" function of the textbox, which will update your other object as soon as the nickname textbox loses the focus on your application.

Private Sub Text1_Change()

label1.Caption = Text1.Text

End Sub

Depending on what else is in the textbox, you would have to parse the textbox to find or extract what you are looking for.

What is in your textbox besides username?

like /nick MJB3K < change username
/font < change font type
/fontcolor < change font color
/ etc

You could use Split function or Instr function. Both are detailed in VBHelp
