1. RE: Win32: number to text box
Hi,
Try:
setText(tboxOut, sprint(answer1) )
>From the reference manual:
Syntax: include misc.e
s = sprint(x)
Description: The representation of x as a string of characters is
returned. This is exactly the same as print(fn, x), except that the
output is returned as a sequence of characters, rather than being sent
to a file or device. x can be any Euphoria object.
Comments: The atoms contained within x will be displayed to a maximum of
10 significant digits, just as with print().
Example 1:
s = sprint(12345)
-- s is "12345"
Example 2:
s = sprint({10,20,30}+5)
-- s is "{15,25,35}"
