increment

This is gonna stupid but is there and Increment function in VB? that will inc any integer var by another integer or just 1.

thanx

Well, you can always do this:

X = X + 1

This will increment the variable X by one.

X = X + Y

This will increment the variable X by Y.

You can always use other mathematical expressions:

X = X - 1

X = X / 2

X = X * Y + 5

X = Cos(X * Sin(5 ^ Y)) :rolleyes:

Don't know of any functions for that. Like ++ in C. But we are currently working on a new reference library DLL, and inc happens to be one of the functions we have built. If there are any others you would like to see let us know.

I have known about that incrementing for a long time...
I always try to use it, like in a timer, and it never works....

I set the timer interval to 1000, I enable the timer
and put this code into the timer1_timer module

Code:

---

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
i = i + 1
Text1 = i
End Sub

---

this doesnt work... text1 = 1 then it doesnt do anything else

If you really want to use a function:

Sub Inc(ByRef X, Optional ByVal NumberToIncreaseBy = 1)
X = X + NumberToIncreaseBy
End Sub

Same with Dec except a minus instead of a plus.

Regarding the timer...
Whenever the timer routine is called, the I variable is recreated and reset with zero. To make it static (not reset), you have to tell it to be static, like this:

Code:

---

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    Static I As Integer
    I = I + 1
    Text1 = I
End Sub

---

Or you could decalre a variable as Public or Global in a module, then in a Timer, put the following code.

Code:

---

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

  ' Add 1 to the variable
  MyVar = MyVar + 1
  Text1 = MyVar

End Sub
