Posts: 1                Hello All

I have just discovered RealStudio as a mean to complete a project which must be 
usable on windows and MAC platforms as a standalone app. So RealStudio seems a 
good choice.

I have my code written in VBA and VB.net (nearly) so I understand the 
programming basics etc. What I am having trouble with is actually getting Real 
Basic to actually do anything other than the tutorial stuff (web browser etc). 
The interface on a form like page is straightforward (i.e event handling) but I 
cannot seem to use msgboxes, populate a listbox etc like in VBA/.net as easily. 
So I reckon I'm missing something so basic which I cannot find and kindly ask 
for a real "janet and john" guide to writing subs, functions, populating list 
boxes, how to output calculations etc. 

The code snippets I see posted here assume the basics are already known. A for 
instance - it took me quite a while to discover (I think I am right here) that 
in VB a statement like msgbox "The value is: " & X would be written something 
like MsgBox "The value is:" + Str(X) as it appears msgboxes are handled 
differently. Really basic stuff but time consuming to find out. So any pointers 
to basic basic stuff? - a good reference?

Thanks for any help

Nick

Location: Jönköping, Sweden                The Language Reference is one way 
to start, but as you say it can be difficult if the basics isn't known.

Btw: You're spot on with the MsgBox!
