Enter Text in PopUp Box

Question

I'd like my prog to pop up a box in which the user can enter text to store it in a variable. Do i have to create a new form for this?

Is this a web app? Winforms? What have you tried so far? We need something to work with. — NakedBrunch, Apr 04 '11 at 20:18

If you only need to input one string at a time, you could use Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox.

If you need to be able to input more than one string or other things (like a selection from a dropbox or a date from a calendar), you will need to implement your own control.

Update: Here is an SO question that will help you out a bit more. It's fairly similar to yours in that the answer is the same, but I think your question is different enough to not be considered a duplicate.

He isn't using VB, he is using C#, take a look at the tags. – Freesnöw Apr 04 '11 at 20:21

@DalexL I did look at the tags and my suggestion IS C#. Please look at links before trying to rip them apart. – Yetti Apr 04 '11 at 20:22
