I'm very new to programming and this one has stumped me. Im trying to make a counter that will go up by one everytime, but will be put on the end of a value typed into a text box and everytime the program loops it'll go up by one so like this

1st:User
2nd:User1
etc.

Any help?

Well, to append a string to another, use the & operator:

And to increment a counter, declare it as global or static, and increase it on the button click:
You can figure out the rest.

Ok now it's doing User, User1, User12 o.o

that's because what your code is doing is adding the current number onto the previous result.

when you run through the program the first time, you're adding "1" to "user" to produce "user1."
when you run through it a second time, you're adding "2" to "user1" to produce "user12."
when you run through it a third time, you're adding "3" to "user12" to produce "user123."

rather than change txtuser.text AND lbluser.caption, why don't you only change lbluser.caption and leave txtuser.text alone? that way only your output (user1, user2) changes and not your input (user).

something like this:


this way, txtuser.text always stays the same, and lbluser.caption constantly changes to reflect the current numerical username.
