Detect TextBox Use

[Tobin1]

Hi All,
I'm new to VB and I'm in over my head.
I have a form with two TextBoxes and a few CheckBoxes.
I'm using the following to detect if the CheckBoxes are Checked:

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()

If CheckBox1.Enabled = True Then
Settings(4) = 1
Else
Settings(4) = 0

End If

End Sub

This works great for what I'm doing with the CheckBoxes.
But, how can I detect if the User has entered text into the TextBox so I can either use the text or ignore the TextBox completely?

Something like:

Private Sub TextBox1_Click()

If TextBox1.Char = True Then
Settings(0) = 1
Else
Settings(0) = 0

End If

Can anybody help me?

The Checkbox1.Enabled value tells you if the chewckbox is enabled - not whether it is selected. Use The Checkbox1.Value to find if it is checked or not.

For the Textbox use Len(Textbox1.Text). Empty will produce 0 (which will evaluate to False in an If statement) - with characters it will produce the length of the string (which will evaluate to True for any non-zero value)

Good Luck
