Visual Basic Question: How do I add concatenated text to a label box by calling them from various buttons?

I’m struggling with a problem in Visual Basic. Currently, I’m programming a User-Operated Directory Assistance Program as a class project. I’ve several important buttons which displays the texts: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9 on a textbox when clicked.. THE MAIN PROBLEM BEHIND THIS IS THAT I CANNOT CONCATENATE THE NUMBERS ON THE LABEL. IT ONLY SHOWS ONE NUMBER IN THE LABEL AND NOT MORE THAN ONE.

For example, the 2 ABC button displays 2 on the label. 3 DEF button displays 3 on the label. 4 GHI button displays 4 on the label. 5 JKL button displays 5 on the label. 6 MNO button displays 6 on the label. 7 PQRS button displays 7 on the label. 8 TUV button displays 8 on the label. 9 WXYZ button displays 9 on the label.

So, can you tell me of a way or give me a sample source code that allows me to display a number such as 7664 on the label below.

Thank you.

Your contribution would be greatly appreciated.

i'll assume that you’re using visual basic .NET (although the same words applies to visual basic 6

you’ve to make your code ADD the next numbers to the current not to override it .. like this

lblScreen.Text = lblScreen.Text btnNumber7.Text

now if lblScreen.Text has 5 displayed and you btnNumber7 is pressed, lblScreen will only add 7 to the current number on it so it will result in 57. Note that the word 'add' here means string concatenation not algebraic addition, note also that i assume that btnNumber7 is a name of a button that has “7″ as its caption.
