ok dont make fun of me :S im trying to make a calculator in visual c++ but dont know what im doing could some one tell me how to make it so when i click a button it shows up in the text box

First get it to work with a command-line parameters then you can try to make it a GUI if you wish. Probably step 1 would be to just hard-code the information in the program so that you don't have to type it every time you run the program (which might be several hundred times).

If you search DaniWeb for calculators you will find several relevent threads (click here).

Unless its a requirement of your program, you probably shouldn't try to do GUI because its way beyond your current programming abilities.
