another collections problem

Question

first i off i just wanna say that i appreciate the help that you guys have been giving me :) now for my next problem i will be more specific to my problems because recent ones i havent been so here goes: i have an assignment to do. Basically we have to build one form using two collections(parallel collections) one holding checkboxes and one holding textboxes now basically what we have to do is make it when you check a checkbox it enables the textbox if you know what i mean now for this code we are told to use a do while loop but im not sure how to go about it :( i have started it but i dont know how to go about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated Dim intindex As Int16 intindex = 1 Do While (sender.name checkboxcollection(intindex).name) intindex += 1 Loop

Well you have the Do...While loop. You'll probably need an If... Then statement to compare the value of the checkbox collections :-) Seriously this is a pretty easy assignment. Good thing I don't know your instructor... OK assuming that your textbox collection is named textboxcollection and that you've filled them properly insert the following code into the loop: If checkboxcollection(intindex).Checked then textboxcollection(intindex).enabled = True Else textboxcollection(intindex).enabled = False End If That's it but it's also the long way around. Notice that the If statement is a boolean comparison. I could have easily written the comparison: If checkboxcollection(intindex) = True then... but I didn't. The Checked property is boolean as is the Enabled property so instead of writing the whole If statement I could just as easily write: textboxcollection(intindex).Enabled = checkboxcollection(intindex).Checked This is not always a good idea to do but in this case it'll work fine and is probably what your instructor is looking for.
