Visual Basic Question

Is it possible to tell VB to repeat an action x times, based on user input ??
As in, have 1 select statement, and tell VB to run it Val(txt1.Text) times ??

FOR statement. I cant remember the precise syntax (go download Delphi or C++ or somethings *sophisticaed* will you) but its something along the lines of:

code:

---

For x = 0 to txt1.text DO

.

.

.

LOOP

The syntax is:

code:

---

for x = 0 to txt1.value (or .text)

.

.

    select case y

       case 

             condition

    .

    .

    end select

.             

.

next

Ah yes, FOR..NEXT. havent used BASIC in far too long.

You can also use a WHILE or UNTIL statement, but FOR is the best in this instance. The others are more versatile though. Learn em all, programming without loops gets painful.

Ok, so that will repeat the function for x times, where x = Val(txt1.text) ??

[Night Stalker]

you won't need the val function. VB does implicit type conversions. You can use any control for input, you are not restriced to text boxes.

Oooppps I'm sorry. Your loop will run x+1 times. Change for x = 0 to for x=1. That will run x times.
