You should look into Event’s that a TextField may fire. You may want to respond to the TextChanged event, the KeyDown or maybe LostFocus depending on your desired effect. I’ll leave the exercise up to the reader as it’s a great place to start learning Xojo.

Also, take a bit of time to read the Xojo books (easy ready and very informative) found at: http://documentation.xojo.com as well as the new Introduction to Programming with Xojo book found at: Xojo: Learn Xojo Programming

If you use XojoScript you can enter an entire calculation into a single line and get the output :slight_smile:
