I like to ask for help with a piece of code.

Hello Everyone,

I am a new user to learning C# therefore I haven't adapt myself to the language terminology.

I like to know if I can get help with thispiece of code.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace ChatterBox

{

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

string[] strLabel = {

"Hi",

"Chao",

"Hello"

};

Random hello = new Random();

int iSelect = hello.Next(0, 2);

textBox1.Text = strLabel[iSelect];

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

textBox1.Clear();

textBox2.Clear();

}

}
----------------------------------------------------------

So what this code does so far is when it runs a random text appears from textBox1 then after I enter something textBox1 and textBox2 clear when I click on 'Enter' button. I'm not sure where to go from here. I like textBox1 to accept a random word, from 3 words, and have the cursor in textBox2 waiting for my input.

This is all I can try and do for now. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I think that's more or less what you've got now.

It's just a question of how you want to present it.

For example, do you want to record the whole conversation or just the latest question/answer pair?

Hi,

I'm trying to create a simple chatbox between the computer and me. When the computer ask a question he has three words or sentences to choose from.

Thank you.

I'm not entirely sure what you have in mind here but I've moved things around a little to achieve what you've described:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private string[] strLabel = {"Hi", "Chao" ,"Hello"}; // field rather than local variable
private Random hello = new Random(); // ditto

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int iSelect = hello.Next(0, 3); // incudes 0 but excludes 3
textBox1.Text = strLabel[iSelect];
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int iSelect = hello.Next(0, 3); // incudes 0 but excludes 3
textBox1.Text = strLabel[iSelect];
textBox2.Clear();
textBox2.Focus();
}
}
