Problem adding timer in a text box

[Viper]

Good day all

I do not know what is the control to add the time in my text box? I have made a window form application simple game that you have to click buttons for 30 seconds. The application works except to view the time.

I think I did put the textBox2 line at the right place but I don't know what to write as command after in order to see the variable "intTimerCounter"?

Here is part of the code and I have put question mark where I seem to miss info.

private: System::Void timer1_Tick(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)
{
// Update the timer
intTimerCounter++;
textBox2->???? = intTimerCounter;
if( intTimerCounter == 30 )
{
// If the timer reaches 30, disable
// the buttons
button1->Enabled = false;
button2->Enabled = false;

Thank you in advance

Ahh, this is managed C++? .NET 2.0?
Your timer interval is in seconds and you just want to display time left?

private: System::Void timer1_Tick(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)
{
// Update the timer
intTimerCounter++;


textBox2->Text = System::ConvertToString(30 - intTimerCounter);


if( intTimerCounter == 30 )
{
// If the timer reaches 30, disable
// the buttons
button1->Enabled = false;
button2->Enabled = false;

Your line make sense. I changed "ConvertToString" to "Convert" since Intellisense does not recognize ConvertToString. I did both but came with an error.
The command textBox2->Text is to see text only. Would it be another command to see a variable or a timer in a text box?

P.S. Sorry I see my post should have been in the Managed C++. Maybe a MODO could transfer my post.

Thank you

Hey Viper,
I just loaded VC++ 2005 (.NET 2.0) and textBox1->Text is correct.
Here is the function I used:

private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) {
	textBox1->Text = "Test";
}

He does have the Convert wrong. It should be Convert::ToString();

textBox2->Text = Convert::ToString(30 - intTimerCounter);

PS: Moving to Managed C++ Forum

It works

Thank you NeedHelp and Jordan, I really appreciated your help.

Just out of curiosity, what were you creating?

Three buttons: start, left and right
Simply a windows with two buttons that you click in intervals for 30 sec after pressing the start button.
