First project test. Everyhing displaying on device but the Button_Click not working on program.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

'Activity module
Sub Process_Globals
'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Globals
'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
'These variables can only be accessed from this module.

End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
Activity.LoadLayout("Velocity")
End Sub

Sub Button1_Click
Dim miles As Int
Dim yards As Int
Dim result As Int
result = miles + yards
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

What do you expect from the Button1_Click event ?
The code you post below will do nothing.
Did you set the values of the miles and yards variables somewhere ?
What do you want to do with the result variable.

The best way to help you would be to post your whole project with 'Export As Zip' in the IDE and attach the zip file.

Best regards.

Klauss
The miles yards and result are text boxes.
Basicaly I want to click calculate button when I fill in the amounts to the miles and yards text boxes with the total amount shown in the result text box

Following code would do it:

Sub Button1_Click
  Dim miles As Int
  Dim yards As Int
  Dim result As Int
  miles = edtMiles.Text
  yards = edtYards.Text
  result = miles + yards 
  edtResult.Text = result
End Sub

Best regards.

You forgot to Dim your button under Globals. Without it nothing will happen.

Dim Button1 as Button

Dim Button1 as Button

As the button is not added in the code and he loads a layout

Activity.LoadLayout("Velocity")

it would be safe to assume the button is on that.

In which instance your suggestion will STOP it working :sign0161:

If the button is on the layout then he wouldn't need to initialize it. He still needs the Dim statement. :sign0161:

He does not need to Dim it, as none of his code references any of the buttons properties, but "Dim"ing it would not stop it working as I claimed. It is late :sign0013:

You are correct! I had always thought you needed to declare the views.

One for the beginners tips thread I think. You should add it there as others may think the same.:sign0089:
