Howdy,

How exactly do I change the text of a static control I have in a window? I want to display a 4 digit number as the player clicks on the numbers of a keypad. So I have 4 variables, one for each number, which I am setting to a new number when the player clicks the keypad.

So, I want to display all 4 variables one after the other, but it won't work.

I thought it was just:

this.Text = Variable1 + Variable2 + Variable3 + Variable4;

Thanks. 

EDIT:

  I've achieved what I wanted.  Sorry. I'll try and wait a little bit before posting my next problem.

For the record, it will work as long as the variables contain text. If they contain numbers, the script will first sum the numbers and then assign the result to the static control. A simple way to fix this - convert the numbers to text first:

this.Text = ToString(Variable1) + ToString(Variable2) + ToString(Variable3) + ToString(Variable4);

I figured it was adding up all the variables.

So I just set them all like this: Variable1 = "1"

...and that has worked.

But that converting thing definitely makes sense - thanks.
