Global Strings

[Brandon]

I'm using global strings to send lots of numbers through a sub app to the main frame and then separating the sections with the String Parser. I am using things like:

Str$(Edit Value( "1" ))+","+Str$(Edit Value( "2" ))+","+Str$(Edit Value( "3" ))+","+Str$(Edit Value( "4" ))

It floors every one of those values, even if I multiply everything by 1.0. Is there a way around this that still uses Global Strings, because using global values would mean I would have to set 10 to 15 values instead of using just one equation

I'm not completely clear. Did you try

Str$(val(Edit Value( "1" ))*1.0)+","+Str$(val(Edit Value( "2" ))*1.0)+","+Str$(val(Edit Value( "3" ))*1.0)+","+Str$(val(Edit Value( "4" ))*1.0)

Because that should work. I could have made a syntax error so be careful if copy/pasting that.

Edit: Wow, I asn't even aware of the "Edit Value" expression, I always used Edittext. That's what I just tested with, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with edit value too.

Str$(Edit Value( "1" )*1.0)+","+Str$(Edit Value( "2" )*1.0)+","+Str$(Edit Value( "3" )*1.0)+","+Str$(Edit Value( "4" )*1.0)

Just a quick fix of something obvious I noticed. Haven't checked it properly.

Edit boxes right?

for some reason, Edit Value("X") doesn't like decimals; try str$(val(Edittext$("1") + val(Edittext$("2")) + etc...) instead

I just tried out your solution and it works great! You were right, the edit value function floors values but val(edit text) works great. Thanks.

Sounds like a bug to me.
