Hi all, I am using the homer .net library. I have added 2 edit boxes. I am using Visual Basic .net. 1. How do I populate them programmatically? I can do that at the time of definition but what about at other points in the program? 2. How do I get the values entered into these boxes? Upon looking at the fruit basket code for visual basic, I can see that the text boxes have been mapped to variables. I cannot fully understand the mapping line. Dim txt As TextBox = CType(me.Names("TextBox_Fruit"), TextBox) What does the "TextBox_Fruit"), TextBox)" bit mean? There is no element anywhere else called "TextBox_Fruit". I realize that a variable caste is taking place but I am a shade lost in interpreting this conversion.
