Explanation

This will use the replace command to replace a letter with some thing else:

Where to get different styles

Messletterscom is the best place I know of.

What you'll need

As many buttons as you'd like to have styles.
A text box

The code

You want it to replace text so the code would be :

TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Replace("a", "4")

This can be done a - z for a l33t translator

to translate back you would need

TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Replace("4", "a")

The clear code would be:

Textbox1.Text = "" or Textbox1.Text = "Your text will be shown here"

To do this you'll need different buttons for different styles and to add much more to the translate back.

Enjoy

Nice tutorial Demon! I'll rep you.

These types of projects are always good and fun to do for a beginner. For example someone could put the translator in a function: sub englishTo1337() and sub 1337ToEnglish() etc. Maybe you could add some select box action and make a full blown translator with this. :)

In doing something like this you could turn it into your own cryptographic language, Meaning you could make a basic encrypter or decrypter..

Good job :D
