Increment number with button

Hi all

I have done a search on this but the variants I came across vary slightly on what I want.

I have a text box where I enter a purchase order number e.g 350223. Often I enter consecutive orders. How would I have a button that would add one to the order number that I manually entered?

Thank you

@Corissandgeri
Once you have types a value into the Text Input it no longer shows the Default value. By resetting the control we clear the value you wrote in and replace it with the default value (previous value + 1)

Thank you
This works great, I understand the Set(myPurchaseOrderNum, Value(TextInput1.Text) + 1);
But don't really understand the resets.

Re: Increment number with button

in the onselect of the button

Set(orderval,value(textinput1.text)); ///textinput1 is name of wherever you type an order number.
Set(orderval, orderval+1);
reset(textinput1)

Then in the default of textinput1 make the value orderval, and in onstart of app add Set(orderval,0) so that starts as 0

Use this code in the OnSelect property of your button

Set(myPurchaseOrderNum, Value(TextInput1.Text) + 1); Set(myPurchaseOrderReset, true); Set(myPurchaseOrderReset, false);

Put this code in the Default property of your text input

myPurchaseOrderNum

And also this code in the Reset property of the text input.

myPurchaseOrderReset

Now when you click the button it will increment the number you input automatically.
