VB.net Input Box Question

[cab11150904]

I am writing a program for class and I need to make it so that an input box will come up for what ever amount of a number is entered into a textbox.  The program is a paint price estimation and need to have an input box pop up and ask for the square feet of each room after the user enters number of rooms in a text box.  I just need the code to make multiple boxes show after reading the number in the textbox and then a way to combine all of their numbers to one output to run through my equation as a single Square Feet number.

I'll assume this is using WinForms. In your form you can add controls with

Me.Controls.Add(control)

So you can create new controls in a loop and then add them to the form.

For i As Integer = 0 To roomNumber    Dim control As New TextBox()    ...    Me.Controls.Add(control)Next

In between is where you'd configure the TextBox or do anything else you need.

 

edit: Just re-read your post and it sounds like you are asking for pop up messages that accept input, not actually adding things to the form. Sorry if that's the case. I'll write another answer.

If my edit above was correct, you can use the InputBox class for a pop up input box.

Dim input As String = InputBox("Enter room square feet for room " & roomNameOrNumber)

Just put it in a loop and store things in an array or a list or something.

Hey that is the case.  I need to have boxes accept information and use it in an equation.

See my second post above. I believe that's what you were asking for.
