Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you could help me with some stuff which may seem obvious to you but I'm a beginner. I'm making a calculator and have reached the part where I am making the buttons change the string on the calculator's "screen". The way I am doing this is by getting the current line of numbers as a string and then converting the number pressed into a string and then adding the two strings together to form the new calculator display, I then want to display that string. After reading some books and looking online I thought the best way of doing this would be to use string streaming, so I have made the following: Code: if(ButtonType == 1) // Numerical buttons processed here { CurrentInputString = ""; CurrentInput = 0; CurrentInput = ButtonNumber; InputOutputStream > CurrentInputString; InputOutputStream.str(""); InputOutputStream.clear(); InputOutputStream > TotalInputString; InputOutputStream.str(""); InputOutputStream.clear(); InputOutputStream TotalInput; InputOutputStream > TotalInputString; InputOutputStream.str(""); InputOutputStream.clear(); this->InputLabel->Text = Convert::ToString(TotalInput); } I had problems setting the text as "TotalInputString" and got these compiler messages: So my question is - how do I do this? All I want is for the string to allow me to place as many numbers as I need on the display. How do I change the text in such a way? This was done on Visual C++, sorry if that's a problem. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.
