thank you but i can’t find how to delete a number before cursor position , even so the cursor is in mid of the text

#4

you might want to do some math… there is the length block to find out the length of the textbox.text, just subtract 1 and assign the reduced text again to textbox1.text

You can preset the TextBox_Text to blank with blocks. That will clear the textbox.

It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.

Next time only ask in the forum of the builder you use. And show the blocks you made. This way you don’t waste users time in helping you. Next time users will not be so willing to help you.
