[RESOLVED] Counting List Item and Play Alarm for Each Item (Must be exceeded to my given limit!)

Hello friends. I have a program I'm working on today. But I want to tell you about a feature I can not do. First, I will talk about the objects in the program. In total there are 2 lists, 2 buttons and 1 checkbox. The first list, our words are listed. When the first button is clicked, the program lists the second list according to the number of words. If checkbox is checked and the second button is clicked, the program will sound an alarm for a group of words exceeding 10 words. (For example, if there are 10 birds in the second list, the bird sound plays, and if there are 10 cats in the second list, the cat sound plays.) My prototype has this error that, the second list (ie the list of which the word count number are written.) the program only sounds an alarm for the bird. If the dog is replaced instead of the cat after, the alarm does not plays because everything is sequential. (So there was no artificial intelligence, it was only imposition.) I'm adding my project with all alarm sounds and files for better understanding. (I had to delete 2 audio files. Because the size was too much. You already notice.) Please help me, thank you.

My Project File via VBForums: Attachment 150167

*Imagine my first list; (Huh! The place of the words may be mixed. No problem my program can count words.)

Bird
Bird
Bird
Bird
Bird
Bird
Bird
Bird
Bird
Cat
Cat
Cat
Cat
Cat
Cat
Cat
Cat
Cat
Cat
Cat
Dog
Dog

*Imagine my second list;

Bird - 9
Cat - 11
Dog - 10

*In short, I have 10 cats. And now alarm should play. (10 and 10 in the form of multiples. ie 10-20-30-...-250) My prototype does not play sound because in the second list Cat is not first item. Bird is first item of list.

*If you download my project firstly you should add items to list via my add buttons. After then you should calculate words. Finally you can check to checkbox and click last button.

I almost for the first time have a question outside the internet. And there is no response please friends... :D

At what point do you want the 'alarm' to sound? When you click the button and if there are 10 cats, 10 dogs or 10 whatevers?

If so, in your button click event, put something like this (seeing as how you know how many of each there are).

Code:

---

dim x as integer
dim y as integer
for x = 0 to list2.listcount -1
    list2.listindex = x
    y = instr(list2.text, " - ")
    if val(mid(list2.text, y +1) = 10 then
        'play your alarm here
        msgbox ("You have 10 " & mid(list2.text,1,y-1)
    end if
x = x +1

---

code not tested---might have errors...!!!

Now, if you already have the VALUE saved for each item (number of them), you won't need to do the loop like I showed, check EACH value (assuming some sort of variable --- or even an array) and if = 10, play your 'alarm'.

In my first text Alarm's mean is only sound. I mean if 10 cats or 20 cats or 300 dogs etc. appears sound will play. If you download my project you can see clearly sir. I will try your code when I go home. But would you be able to review my project file if you are available before me?

Replace all your code with the following and try, i hope it works as you want.

I'm not crazy about downloading zip files....(although I do on occasion, and provide many on this forum). Besides, looks like xy has given you what you need probably.

You're a great person 4x2y! You save code (Almost half.) and you resolve my mistakes. Thanks a lot...

If your problem solved then mark this thread as resolved

And Rate xy's post (little 6-pointed start in his post) to 'thank him'.

I handle it my friends, thanks again!
