The user is going to enter "empNumBox" from a text box. In some point I need to use the amount entered which is of type

"System::Windows::Forms::TextBox^". I would like to use the amount enterdina switch to get the right employee. Unfortunately, thatswitch willaccept only integers.

protected:

private: System::Windows::Forms::TextBox^ empNumBox;

.

.

.

switch (empNumBox)

{
case 1:
{

.
.
}
break;
case 2:

{

.

.
}
break;
case 3:
{

.

.

}
break;
default: MessageBox::Show(" This is an invalid employee number.\n Please try again! ",L" Error ");
}

I may have to use property like this:

property TextBox^ EmpNum
{
TextBox^ get(){return empNumBox; }
void set(TextBox^ p) {empNumBox = p ;}
}

It is the "juat" of TextBox.

Convert the string empNumBox->Text to an int with int::Parse(). Use TryParse() if you don't want to crash the program when the user gets it wrong.

int value = int::Parse(empNumBox->Text);
switch (value) {
// etc...
}

I am juat wondering; what is "Text"?

Thanks it works fine, but what is juat? I was trying to say I "just wondering"!
