Help regarding reading numbers from text box into a variable!!!

[eklavyavats]

I was having problem in reading a number from the text box, as it contains data in text form. Can anyone tell how to read data into an integer variable from a text box.

If you are using VB6 you can use the Int() fuction to convert the string into an integer.
For example:

Dim num as integer
num = int(text1.text)

You can also use the Val() function. Hm... actually, if you feel like it, you can just assign it straight to the variable without using any function - VB is actually pretty smart like that).

It depends a bit on what you want. The Int() function will truncate the number, otherwise it will be rounded. For example, converting "58.6" to an Integer variable will round up to 59, unless you use Int() function which will truncate it and return 58.

Also, a straight assignment or the Int() function will produce a Type Mismatch error if the value isn't numeric (for example, "Text1") while Val() function will return 0.
