Question QUESTION: Hi Don
I have just begun programming QuickBasic, and I am stuck with the INPUT-tag. I am trying to make the field where the user writes a color but I am not succeding.
INPUT "Write text", WT$ 'And here it gets me
I have the text and the string, but where do I style the input-field?
Regards
Martin
ANSWER: Hi,
Sorry but I don't understand what it is you're wanting to do. INPUT is a pretty weak tool and is usually used only by programmers to test code hence it's functionality is quite low.

QUESTION: It's like a Visual Basic textbox i want to style the "textbox" and thus the input. Can it be done?
Is there an alternative to input? What?

Answer Hi Martin,
Yes, you can make your own input routine but it takes quite a bit of code. Fortunately I've done most of the hard work for you and you're most welcome to d/load it from my web site.
