Newbie Hello World question: Show in textbox on button click

[J.S.]

I can show Hello World in a MessageBox with this code:

private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender,
System::EventArgs^ e) {MessageBox::Show("Hello, World!");
}

but I cannot show it in a textbox with this code:

private: System::Void button2_Click(System::Object^ sender,
System::EventArgs^ e) {textBox1::Show("Hello World");
}

I am using VC++ 2005 Express Edition beta.

I'd appreciate any pointers. It was so much easier to do in C#.

Thanks,
J.S.

I think you want something like:
textBox1->Text = "Hello World";

If you're coming from C#, learn the ins and outs of the '::', '->', and '.'
operators.

The procedure should be the same regardless of language (assign a String to
the textBox's Text property) though. It shouldn't be much different in C#.

The MSDN library can tell you what members the .NET Framework controls
possess. You might want to search through it when the need arises.

Thanks, James! That worked just fine!

Yes, that seems to be a great resource.
