Print method and others

Author	Message
DB #1 / 6	Print method and others Can anyone tell me how to replace the MsgBox function with something more robust? I'm writing a program in VBScript but it is NOT going to run on a browser or as an ASP. I'm simply writing a short numerical tool program that can run on a windows desktop as a .VBS file using Windows Scripting Host (WSH). The script will NOT be used as a script on a web page. Now, the program does a calculation based on some user supplies input. So far, the only way I can report to the user whats going on is like this: Dim i Private Sub Loop For i = 1 to 10 MsgBox "Hello World #" & i Next End Sub Loop Now, every time the loop completes, it sends out a Message Box containing "Hello World #1", "Hello World #2",..... "Hello World #10" HERE MY BIG PIEVE: Each time you get the MsgBox, the user has to click "OK" to get the next information about the next iteration of the loop. Why can I just print to a text box or a picture box or something so I would get the following all at once: "Hello World #1" "Hello World #2" "Hello World #3" . . . "Hello World #10" Public Sub Rant I remember from the old days of BASIC that you could use the Print statement to get this kind of result <in the old days when programming was simple :)> I just wanna print to a stupid text box or something! This shouldn't be hard, but I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to do it.I've used Sam's TY Visual Basick in 24 Hours. MS Step by Step VB 5.0 and the online tutorials on Visual Basic Script, and I still cant figure this out! PLEASE HELP!!!! End Rant -- Donald A.

Eoin and U #2 / 6	Print method and others I am not quite sure if this is what you are looking for but if you try using the loop to minuplate the information but use the message box outside the loop eg Dim x As Integer Dim Myreturned As String For x = 1 To List1.ListCount Myreturned = Myreturned & "Hello World" & x & Chr(13) Next x MsgBox Myreturned, vbInformation -** Posted from remarQ, Discussions Start Here(tm) **- http://www.remarq.com/ - Host to the the World's Discussions & Usenet

You just need to tell Visual Basic where to print it: Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To 10 Picture1.Print "Hello World " & i 'This prints to a picture box. 'To print to the form use Me.Print. 'To print to the printer use Printer.Print. 'To print to the immediate window use Debug.Print (This works only 'from within the IDE). Next i Ole - Ole I. Hougaard

Otherwise, you the text will disappear when the form or picture box redraws. Ole - Ole I. Hougaard

Dick Harriso #5 / 6	Print method and others DB You can do what you want to. Either use the Print method on a PictureBox or add to the end of the Text property of a multi-line TextBox or use the AddItem method on a ListBox.

Dick Harriso #6 / 6	Print method and others Ole Not strictly true about AutoRedraw. Some people set it to False and only do their graphics in the Paint event. Regards {filter} Quote: >>You still can.
