VB prob again

when you say "page" do you mean "form"? if not then don''t bother reading this because i don''t know what you are talking about.
you can
(1) make these variables public members of the form, and then get them with "FormName.VariableName", or
(2) make them global variables (in a module)

Thank you and remember kids dont do drugs

What the hell is wrong with this?

TotalCost = Val(frmGuitar.guitar1cost) + Val(frmGuitar.guitar2cost) + Val(frmGuitarAcc.pedalcost) & _
Val(frmGuitarAcc2.GuitarPickCost) + Val(frmGuitarAcc2.GuitarStrapCost) & _
Val(frmGuitarAcc2.GuitarStringCost) + Val(frmAmp.guitarampcost) + Val(frmAmp.guitarampheadcost) & _
Val(frmBass.basscost) + Val(frmBassAcc.BassPickCost) + Val(frmBassAcc.BassStrapCost) & _
Val(frmBassAcc.BassStringCost) + Val(frmBassAmp.bassampcost) + Val(frmDrum.drumcost) & _
Val(frmSticks.stickcost)

txtTotalPrice.Text = TotalCost

not adding the cost up.

How great is that, post your homework questions to gamedev.net.

that is pretty cheeky... GAMEdev.net, somehow implies (ot me) that it''s about games... what have the prices of melons and oranges got to do with games? lol. well, actually I''m just being harsh, maybe it''s a good game...

I''m tired. forget it.

What is with the & signs at the ends of the lines, and are you using variant types? Variants are evil, avoid at all costs. & signs are for string... (trying to spell concatecaitsoin)... joining.

Trying is the first step towards failure.

you must be sure that all those forms are loaded and have had the variables set to something... why exactly are you using this many forms for this type of thing?

maybe he dont know how to create boxes/labels/edit boxes/varibles/modify forms at runtime/the teacher said he better have a many forms or else!

thats was me I did''nt mean to be a Anonymous Poster damn you game dev get you cookies in order

I am making a program about instruments for one. I just used this as an example. Anysway, & _ means the line is too damn long and you bring it down to the next line.

I replaced the & with +''s but the damn things still doesnt work!?!

well, are you getting an error, or does it just give you the wrong number?
the code looks like it should work (syntax wise, it is still a messy way to do it)... what kind of variables are all those, and are you sure you are setting them?

--- krez (krezisback@aol.com)

ok the basscost, guitar1cost, etc are all public variables that are currency. They get there information from something like
guitar1cost = txtguitarprice * val(txtguitarquan).
Oh and there are NO errors popping up.

hmmm... i can''t think of anything that would cause a problem there... maybe you are messing up with type conversions? i never used the currency type, but maybe it doesn''t work properly with VAL() or something... or maybe you have a problem going from text -> numbers, or numbers -> text...
you could try using SINGLEs instead of CURRENCY, and formatting to two decimal places for the output (not good if you are dividing and getting lotsa decimals, but for multiplying and adding it should be ok)...
if you want you can email me your project and i''ll look at it (make sure it is text though)...

txtGuitarPrice = a text box? well use "txtGuitarPrice.Text", just to be safe, what you''ve typed in just references the object TextBox... VB will usually work out what you mean, but maybe it''s not this time...

also, use CCurr() or CLng() to convert the string to a valid currency/long value before you try processing... again, Vb may be misinterpretting what you want...
