TO: All avid users of AW,
I know how to create a bot & make it login, but how do you make a bot where
you can enter all information into text boxes, rather than having to change
the constants used by quickstart in the code itself.

A Desperate VB6 Bot Programmer,
Barbarossa 315942

P.S. When I goto Markaveli's web site, I cannot d/l his fabled "First Bot".
I, in turn, recieve naught but a 404 file not fount error.

First, textboxes are very simple to use, I changed my web pages today
because I had no time to in the past since I cancelled the Bank Bot's beta
version because it was screwed up due to lack of code updates. I had to
remove that download link. I have a download on my small help page that is
the basic forms, all you do is add the new code, it has textboxes and all on
it already.

Anyways.... I will acuulay tell you how to do it. Now
To use a text box place a few on the form. now Wherever you have the bot login
use this...

Sdk.AwLoginOwner = txtOwner.Text `Use ".Text" right after the name of the
text box
Sdk.AwLoginPrivilegePassword = txtPassword.Text
Sdk.AwLoginName = txtBotName.Text
Sdk.AwLoginApplication = "Bot App"
and so on....
If you still dont get it you have to do this. Text1.text now whatever text1.text
will Equel what ever is in Text1. Becaruefull And makeshure you use a String
or a Long, sometimes people will enter in a string in a field thats suppose to
be a long. Im not shure how to make a box only numbers
or like that. Im shure it will work otherwise you can contact me in AW as

*sigh* you don't need the ".Text" extention, VB defaults the textboxes to
that so all you need is "txtCitizenName" not "txtCitizenName.Text".

At the risk of sounding like I am agreeing with Makaveli ...

Firstly, if you WANT to use the .Text property, that's your programming
style and that is fine. Don't miss things off if they make your code clearer
to you or others and don't miss them off because you're lazy (unless that IS
your programming style) either.

All controls can have a default property assigned. For edit boxes, the .Text
property is the default. This means that you don't NEED to explicitly state
the property name to retrieve the text in the text box. In fact, it is
marginally faster to use the default property than to make it find the one
you specify ... but we aren't talking in terms of any perceivable amount of
time.

The reason a lot of people DO like to specify the fully qualified name is
because txtOwner, without the property name, can return one of two values
....

(a) The value of the default property (txtOwner.Text)

or

(b) The control itself (i.e. the edit box).

VB is a typed language and therefore this behaviour doesn't fit with the
rest of the language. So, if it makes you more comfortable TrekkerX, you do
as you wish.

The only reason this has been mentioned (by me anyway) is because you
explicitly included it in your post. Just giving you a bit of background.

That's a BAD habit to get into. Once you go to languages like Delphi,
you'll NEED to specify ".Text"
