How do I Input a number and then calculate

Hi,

I make power kites, I am want to make a small program to help me design NASA para wing kites.

What I need to know is how to input a numbers witch will be the height of the kite. From that number I can calculate all the stuff I need to know. I will use the input number in about 40 calculations. I got a textbox that I can

input the numbers. I have a var that is set to 0. How do I set this var to the number that is in the textbox?

Let say the input number is 30 I want the var to go from 0 to 30. Then I want to use that var(30) calculate many

things. So have calculation #1,calculation #2,calculation #3 and so on. how do I do that?

I know that is a lot.

thank you

EDIT:

Sorry, one more thing, I need all the product of the calculations to print out on the screen. Each one will have it's

own X,Y position.

thanks

you can make a Slider and make the range go from 0-30

then use that in your calculation: SliderBar.Value * whatever you want.

or use a TextBox like: int(TextBox.Text) + 5 or whatever your calculation is.

Perhaps you are looking for the System.SetValue Action? By assigning the value of a slider or textbox to a variable, you can use it even after the textbox/slider is gone. I hope this is what you wanted.

you could do it like this

Great, that give me alot to think about. A slider may be the way to go. I did not think of that.

Lordshiva1948 that was a very good example I will let you all know what i did.

Thank you all

One thing I need to change, I don't under stand the text box stuff yet. As I slide the bar I need the numbers to be displayed as the bar is being used. That way I can stop at the number I want. How would you make the numbers show on the screen as you are sliding the bar?

Thank You Renny.

How would you make the numbers show on the screen as you are sliding the bar?

Event

Slider Bar...Compare value...not equal to..int(Text.Text)

Action

Text...set text to..Slider.Bar.Value

Here is what I got when I try your code.

I must be putting in the wrong way see photo

what am I doing wrong?

thank you

renny

Text is default name for text object..if you rename text object from Text to Something.....

Action is

int(Something.Text)

Ok, I am going line by line and learning this so I don't have to get help on this again.

will get back to you.
