Using 2 for every statements?

[Raeki]

is there any way to use 2 for every.... statements?

i want to load up my.settings and 1 list will make new toolstripdropdownitem and the other lists is for the tooltiptexts

or I could do it another way, but how can I check the index of items in a my.setting string collection? like if I want to get the text of index number 3 how do I do that? thanks

The fact that it's from My.Settings is irrelevant. A StringCollection is a StringCollection, and a StringCollection is basically the same as any other collection. If you want to get the String at index 3 then that's exactly what you do:

myString = myStringCollection(3)

I think what you want is actually simpler than you think. You can use a For Each loop and then use the current item inside the loop several times, e.g.

For Each str In My.Settings.MyStringCollection
    'Use str here to create a menu item.
 
    'Use str here to create a tool tip.
Next

hmm... I don't really understand the loop thing, but I'll try the mystring = mystringcollection(3) thing

so for me would i do

my.settings.(name)(indexnumber)

?

let me try

using the for each str in my.settings.ddml (ddml is my string collection name)

i get an error saying like str needs a value or something.... like a number or i dunno
