<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">re: control arrays They work ok in VB.NET if imported from VB6.
<br>
<br>
The indexing convention used is unusual but you can work with an array of controls as per VB6.<br>
<br>
See attached template for Hangman - imported from VB6. Excuse the abstruse wordlist created a student 10 years ago!<br>
<br>
Imaginatively named textboxes are renamed as:_Txt1_1, _Txt1_2, _Txt1_3 etc<br>
Yet in code are accessed thus:<br>
<br>
For i = 1 To 10<br>
Txt1(i).Text = ""<br>
Txt1(i).Visible = False<br>
Next <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I assume there are better ways than this, but I just whip up the control array in VB6 then import to .net.<br>
<br>

<div>Hi folk. Sorry for posting about the ITA assessor's report to this list. I hope I didn't confuse you too much.<br>
<br>
I've had SD on the brain recently* and forgot the complaint was about ITA.<br clear="all">
<br>
*I'm finally nearly semi-competent in VB2010 and starting to forget my old VB6 habits, but I certainly miss control arrays.
<br>
Why MS ditched them I'll never know. It use to be SO easy to loop through an array of controls and do things with them, e.g.
<br>
<br>
For i =1 to 99<br>
checkbox(i).checked = false<br>
next<br>
<br>
Sadly, you can't do that easily any more.<br>
<br>
