I assume you added the TextBox to your form using the designer. An easy way to add events to a control is to view the Properties window for the control (just right-click on the TextBox and select Properties if it's not already showing). The default view shows most of the public properties you can access for that control (things like Text, Enabled, Visible, Height, etc.). There's a button with a lightning bolt at the top of this window. Clicking this button will show all the events this control has. Double-clicking on an event will automatically insert the function and link it to your control in InitializeComponent(). Slightly longer explanation than I wanted, but once you walk through it, it's really easy. I just with it would place the function definitions in Form1.cpp instead of Form1.h :) - dybs
