First Post (: so sorry to seem like such the beginner i am, i have a simple request.
I'm making a calculator for computing homework, using a 2 text field entry system.
I dont know how to make the buttons enter the characters in the text box the cursor is in, at the moment it automatically does 1 because of the code, help much appreciated.
For eg, buttons representing 3, and 4, codes of which are:

	Private Sub Button13_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button13.Click
		TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text + "3"
	End Sub

	Private Sub Button14_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button14.Click
		TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text + "4"
			End Sub

From what I understand you are trying to make buttons the will input the numbers directly into a TextBox.

If that is what you are trying to do then the code would be

 
Textbox1.text = 3

in your button 3 click event.

O.o I see what you mean now, Beginner here as well. Someone with far more knowledge than I will ave to help with this one.

Try This

If TextBox1.Focused = True Then
'Your Code Here
End If

Hope this helps

What exactly are you looking to do? I read, and re-read your post a dozen times and I just couldn't understand the wording~ probably because I'm kinda tired

This code just stops the flashing of the cursor in the text box, as though it has been deselected.
I'd show a picture but my connection is playing right up, sorry.
Imagine 2 text boxes, 1set of buttons. no matter which texbox cursor is in, buttons enter numbers into textbox1, that's the problem.

[gbertoli3]

The reason why it is deselecting is because you pressed a button, thus giving focus to another control. If you were to do the same thing without any code it would deselect it as well.

I understand what they are trying to do, that doesn't mean I know the answer.

Instead of using the NumPad they want to have 10 buttons with a number for each, 0, 1, 2, ect.

When they click on one of the numbers it inputs it to the textboxes ie. 3345

Getting that into textbox1 is not a problem but getting it to go into textbox2 is. Using the code they have provided.


They need to know how to have the cursor in textbox2 and have it enter the number buttons you click on go into textbox2.

Here maybe this will help you.
