Determining text boxes to be outputs

Question

I'm running visual studio 2017 with visual c++. I think my text box inputs work. So far, there are no more errors detected by the compiler. I'm just not getting any results on my output text boxes. I think there should be some other command or something to determine my output text boxes to be outputs.

Here is an example of one of my inputs:

    String^ in1;
    System::Windows::Forms::TextBox^ textBox1 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::TextBox;
    textBox1->Text = in1;

Here is an example of one of my outputs:

    String^ out1 = Convert::ToString(etresult);
    System::Windows::Forms::TextBox^ textBox6 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::TextBox;
    textBox6->Text = out1;

What should I do next with my code to make the output text boxes work?

Hi,

I suggest you could try the following code:

 String^ out1 = Convert::ToString(etresult);  
 textBox6->Text = out1;  

When you add controls to the form, vs will automatically add the following statements:

private: System::Windows::Forms::TextBox^  textBox6;  

this->textBox6 = (gcnew System::Windows::Forms::TextBox());  

So you didn’t need to repeat by yourself :

System::Windows::Forms::TextBox^ textBox6 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::TextBox;  

Best Regards,

Jeanine
