hello, I am new in visual basics, so i decide to create a calculator application, but i faced a couple problem.
1) I didn't know how to create percentage button
2) after it gives result, i want it to clear the result with pressing any number button.
Please help me to find out the solution!
Thank you for your time!

hi,
what do you mean by "I didn't know how to create percentage button"?
about how to clear the textbox by pressing any button i suggest you create a variable that will be of type bool. when you press any of the function keys ( +, -, / etc.) you set this var to true. and in your number keys check if this var is true if so clear the textbox(textbox.text="") and set the bool var to false again. this way when you press any of the function keys you will clear the textbox every time you start typing new number.

Good Luck.

i think it will be better to make a single button for clearing the textbox or any time he try to type it will delete the numbers.
as for the percentage button, you'll need a formula for it that will take two numbers you type and will use them to calculate the percentage...

however i have a question? why almost every button have a diffrent (yet generic [aka name given by VB itself]) name but they seems to be part of an control array?
it dosent even seems like you use their index number...

@ Neku I dont think you understand what i mean let me explain it trough code:

Dim bClear As Boolean
bClear=false
Private Sub cmdPlus_Click()
'Sum some numbers and show the result
bClear=true
End Sub
Private Sub cmd2_Click(Index As Integer)
If (txtDisplay.Text = 0) Then
    If bClear=True Then
        textbox.text=""
        bClear=False
    End If
    txtDisplay.Text = "2"
     Else
      txtDisplay.Text = txtDisplay.Text & "2"
      End If
End Sub

This way only if he press the plus button it will clear the textbox. You can even use this in the equal button so when you press it the next time you start typing new number to clear the textbox it self as it is on the windows calculator.

That doesn't sound like the behavior of any calculator I've ever heard of. Calculators have a Clear and Clear Entry key. Why would you create a calculator that nobody knows how to use?

As for percentage button, all you have to do is divide the value in the text box by 100.

[raziel_]

when you press "Winkey + R" the run dialog opens. Now when you type "calc" in it and press "Enter" key the windows calculator opens. Now when you type for example "7" then "8" then "9" and after this you press the "+" key. when you start typing the new number lets say "1" you will see how the old number (789) disappear. i dont know about you but every single calculator do this that i have seen in my humble life(except windows 7 calc that makes 2 rows).

[Neku]

it dosent delete it.. the number 789 in your example is stored in a variable.
what he wanted is to clear it by clicking any key, that would include clearing all variables that hold data for calculation

[BobRodes]

Oh, I see what the OP is saying now. The way that calculators work is after pressing the = key (as well as in more advanced calculators function keys like square root), the result displayed is terminal, meaning that the next number pressed will start a new calculation. So, store a boolean value called isTerminal or whatever, and when a number is pressed, check this variable. If true, set to false, clear the text box, enter the number. If false, tack the number on the end of the text box.
