1000 to 1,000?! Please post if you know how!

Hello, I'm new to Sythe and you seem like a nice community, so I was wondering
if you can use 1,000 instead of 1000 in a Msgbox? If so, how?
Thanks

 

You can use any usual characters in a message box if you tell it to output a string rather than an integer.

What you probably have

Code:

Msgbox 1000

What you would want

Code:

Msgbox "1,000"

If this isn't what you want then try to be more specific and explain better.

 

Sorry, my bad. I was trying to use it like this

Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox "The chance is 1 in " & Text1.Text ^ Text2.Text, vbOKOnly, "Chance"
End Sub

 

You just need to use the Format method like below:

Code:

Format(X, "#,0") 'replace X with the number to be formated

So it should look like this:

Code:

MsgBox "The chance is 1 in " & Format(Val(Text1.Text) ^ Val(Text2.Text), "#,0"), vbOKOnly, "Chance"

 

Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    MsgBox "The chance is 1 in " & formatnumber(val(Text1.Text ^ Text2.Text),0), vbOKOnly, "Chance"
End Sub

 

Sweet! It works like a charm! It doesn't even show E anymore! Thanks!
