hi lo program

I have a couple quick questions with the program that I am doing. This program is a hi\lo program and here are my remaining issues...

1. When I click the high or low button in my program it does not make changes to my token (I want the default tokens to be 100 and added 100 to the text property of my textbox so want to make sure I did that right)

2. In my program it only shows 13 possibilities but want to have the ability to add more

3. I also would like to change 1 to ace, 11 to jack, 12 to queen, and 13 to king and would like to get some assistance with that as well

I think I have everything else taken care of but this is the code I have...

Code:

Looks like you chose the wrong forum. This is for VB6, not VB.Net...

The first problem (which you might not notice) is the DIM statement. Unless you specify, the default is Object.

Code:

---

Private used1, used2, used3, used4, used5, used6, used7, used8, used9, used10 As Integer

---

Only the last As Integer. (You would need As Integer repeated for each item)

[ Moved ]

Also, why are you adding two STRINGS?

Code:

---

tokensTextBox.Text = tokensTextBox.Text + tokensToBetTextBox.Text

---
