Hey guys, first time trying VB so I'll try to be descriptive... I have a textbox (TextBox1) that I want to refresh everytime I click a button. Here is the code for the textbox:

CODE
  Me.TextBox1.Enabled = False
        Me.TextBox1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(48, 123)
        Me.TextBox1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(229, 24)
        Me.TextBox1.Text = textValue


Where the TextBox1 text is bounded by the variable textValue (string).

Here is the code for the click of the button:

CODE
Private Sub MenuItem1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem1.Click
0:
        
        textValue = "I CHANGED!"
        
End Sub


I'm sure I'm missing a refresh or something, but I really dont know how to refresh a textbox. Any help?

where is this code?
QUOTE

CODE

Me.TextBox1.Enabled = False
        Me.TextBox1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(48, 123)
        Me.TextBox1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(229, 24)
        Me.TextBox1.Text = textValue


You are going to want to add this code to a function somewhere in the program and call that function in the menuitem1_click event. Then call Application.DoEvents() after the function is executed. So something like this
CODE

private sub menuitem1_click(...)
  textvalue="I Changed"
  <SomeFunctionThat holds the above code>
  Application.DoEvents
end sub

OH nvm I found it earlier this morning. Its TextBox1.Text = variable inside the click handler and then, to refresh it (also in the handler) its TextBox1.refresh()
