You might want to have a look at this little article. It is a set of classes built to take numeric input from edit boxes and it handles a lot of those messy details for you. There are facilities to use sliders also but you don't have to. I hope this helps.

drat...sorry about that. I'm uploading the corrected version of the file right now. It ought to be at the same exact location by the time you recieve this, so just follow the original link if you'd like to download it. ~Cam Desautels (BinaryUprising.com)

But it's so simple, really. And the point is to learn. Once he gets it down he'll be pumping these things out in no time, and wondering what was slowin' him down before. ~Cam Desautels (BinaryUprising.com)

If you made the variables of type float, then you need to make sure that only numbers are being entered into the edit boxes. Sadly, if you click the option in the edit box properties to make the value a number, you will only get int's, the decimal point will also be supressed. You really should consider posting some code when asking for help. I suspect if I saw the code I'd probably know what you were doing wrong.

Sadly, if you click the option in the edit box properties to make the value a number, you will only get int's, the decimal point will also be supressed. However, if the values are ALL set to be floats, there is no char to float conversion happening at ALL, so I doubt you've got that bit right, or if you have, the problem is elsewhere and you should be posting the code where it crashes.

True, true, sorry about that...int math was simpler... ~Cam Desautels (BinaryUprising.com)

Ok, very cool, very cool...no problem about the help, I'm a struggling C++ programmer myself (yeah, but what the heck, I'm 17, it'll come...), and if I help others with what I can, maybe someone can help me when the time comes. Thanks a lot about my site, I have a lot of fun with webdev. Did you see there's a little text box on the right-hand side of the homepage where you can post comments (hint, hint). LOL, anyway, the best of luck to you, I'm glad I could help. ~Cam Desautels (BinaryUprising.com)
