Reading in a certain number of characters

[jennyek2000]

How can I read in a certain number of characters (i.e. not all) from a string in a control (e.g.. a list box item) into a variable??

E.g.

"Jenny Keenan"

Just read "Jenny" into the variable.

Thanks,
Jenny

to get like the first 10 characters:
dim strMyvar as string=MyCtrl.text.Substring(1,10)

The gap between theory and practice is not as wide in theory as it is in practice.
