Please I need help with my calculator Program,

[DCYPHER]

Hi,

My code is pretty much complete.

I just need help in 2 things

1) When the program runs the 0 appears, which is fine, but when I type/write a number the Zero would continue next to the number i type/write

2) When i make an operation, such as add/divide/multiplication continuously.
For instance: if i type 1 + 2 and = it will give me 3. However, if i take that 3 and multiply it or divide it at the same time with another operation, the result doesn't appear. the operation gets done, but i cant see the previous answer in the process

PLEASE HELP ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

THANK YOU

I ran your code and think it works fine.

You can add this sub to highlight the text in the text box so when you type into it it will reset the previous text.

Private Sub txtDisplay_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e  as   System.EventArgs) Handles txtDisplay.MouseEnter
        txtDisplay.Focus()
        txtDisplay.SelectAll()
    End Sub

For your second question: I can't get the results your talking of. I can keep addind, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing and it displays the results.

Thanks for replying. I tried what you say, but it doesn't address any of my problems

a)The Zero still appears even when i put the new numbers
b)Perhaps i didn't explain myself better. The problem is that when I type a number and then a sign (either to add or multiply. etc) whatever its on the GUI disappears. The operation still gets solved, but it should not dissapear every time im trying to put a new number to the operation

I changed a couple of things

Combined all your number button functions to 1 function. Set each number buttons tag to the number it represents.

Added a global variable reset.

Removed your txtDisplay.text = "" in your add,subtract,.. function to reset = true

See if this helps

Thanks again for your time.

I tried what you recommend, but still doesn't work

It does not do the operations, it doesnt work at all, it only gives me zero
