Turning a textbox container into a integer?

Hi,

I have a text box in vbdos it holds the number "3"

I need to use this container for changing desktop color.

Heres the normal way :

SCREEN.ControlPanel(DESKTOP_BACKCOLOR) = "3"

I need to do something like this :

SCREEN.ControlPanel(DESKTOP_BACKCOLOR) = MyTextBox.Text

But get the error 'mis match'

I don't think VBDOS likes this,,,,, unlike vb6.0

Is there a way I can turn the number i have in the textbox into a
readable integer so it's treated like "3" after :
SCREEN.ControlPanel(DESKTOP_BACKCOLOR) =

Thanks,

Try

SCREEN.ControlPanel(DESKTOP_BACKCOLOR) = VAL(MyTextBox.Text)
