850 Pointschanging the value in a text box
I intend to change the value contained in a text box by pressing a Button.(My app takes some value from text boxes previously input by the user and then change the values according to the " units chosen" by the User. the Units command is triggered by clicking on a action button which i also would like to switch the name on it from saying imperial to metric or visceversa).. So once you converted the value the new value is stored in the same input text box. Could anyone possibly help?
