Easy stupid VB object incrementing question...

[brxndxn]

I want to run a script that is going through all the objects on a display and setting the 'caption' properties to variables.. I can easily do that by just hard-coding the text display objects..

For example.. here is my current code:

text1.Caption = "a"
text2.Caption = "a"
text3.Caption = "a"

I want to do something like this..

For varCounter 1 to 3
text+varCounter.Caption = "a"
Next

What is the syntax to use a variable in the object reference?

Create an array or a list and walk it...

Depends on the version of VB your using, you really didn't provide alot of info...

vb6 compatible

That's how you can do it in vb.net. Not sure if you can use any of that to vb6.

This is nuts.. I thought it would be simple to do a 'for/next' loop for something like this..

text1.caption = "a"
text2.caption = "a"
text3.caption = "a"
...
textn.caption = "a"



like..

For 1 to n
x = 1
textx.caption = "a"
x = x + 1
next

I just dunno how to get the x in my statement..

Nothing's that easy with vb.

brxndnx, what you are trying to do i(with that logic) is not possible. You'd have to do something similar to what klin suggested above, which i'm not sure is possible in vb6.

Just create a collection and interate it...

for each control in me.controls
if control.name.startswith("text")
control.caption = "a"
end if
next
