A simple problem that i cannontcrack, and its just annoying me. The user must enter a lane number for an athlete
i want it to say:
On button Click
Store Lane in ListBox
Check If Lane already entered
MsgBox("Lane Already Entered")
else store lane
End If
how can i check if it has already been entered? what should the correct coding be
lstLane is the name of lstBox
iLane is Lane Number
do i need a counter?
Cheers
Maybe add the entered value into an array and then check the array everytime the user goes to enter a new value - alert them if its already there else allow them to continue....
Just an idea :)

If you have a button for each lane, as you select the lane, just disable the button so that it can't be selected again.
How do i store/call from that array though?
Im sorry, still only new to programming and getting the hold of it
should it be something like:
dim iLane(11) as integer
then how do you store and call from the array to check?
Cheers

Yeah but i dont have a button for each lane, and i cant do it like that. The end user must enter the lane and have it validated... im sorry, any ideas on the code???
You could even have the person's name in the disbled button.
Anyways, what are your button's purpose? What controls are you using besides a button?
Basically the user enteres a name, a time the person swum, and the lane the person was in.
When the button is pressed, it stores the values in three seperate listboxes.
All i want it to do, is check if the lane has already been entered into the listbox, and if it has, then display an error message to re-enter lane number.
Does this explain it?
Cheers
Let me answer this question people! Just a minute though i gotta see if it works.
Ok Cheers mate, any solutions???
GOT IT! Just a minute i should have it in a minute!
Woot! here you go bud... fresh from the kitchen.
Dim x As String
Dim y As Integer
MsgBox List1.ListCount
For y = 0 To (List1.ListCount - 1)
List1.ListIndex = y
x = List1.Text
MsgBox x
If x = "Grey" Then
MsgBox "beeer"
End If
Next y

Please let me know if it works or not! common man im waitin
When i put it in to a code,
it says ListIndex is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.ListBox
or the same for ListCount
Do i have to declare these somewhere?
I dont understand
looks like you wandered into the wrong forum by mistake. that looks like 'Net code. this is the vbforum.
