Counting digits from multiple textbox in VB6

need to count or add the number of same digits in a textbox.result from textbox1, textbox2, textbox3, and textbox4. In other words if the user enters "9" in textbox1, "9" in textbox2, "4" in textbox3, and "9" in textbox4, I need to obtain the value of "3" in textbox.result because 9 repeats 3 times. Can someone help me? So far I tried this but doesn't seem to work as expected.


Dim t1 = "9"
Dim t2 = "9"
Dim t3 = "4"
Dim t4 = "9"

Dim result As String = {t1, t2, t3, t4}.GroupBy(Function(t) t).OrderByDescending(Function(g) g.Count).First.Count.ToString

Looks like you are using a .Net version of Visual Basic, not Visual Basic/Studio 6.0. I'll advice the moderators to move this thread to its appropriate part of this forum. But, if you want a VB6 solution, will gladly guide you in that direction.

Looking at your other threads, I DO believe you ARE using a .Net product, but not VB6...but, if you want a "VB6" start...look at these...the first one will see if a given string (Typed into text2) is found ANYWHERE within the textboxes (0 through 5), while, the second one will find exact matches...they both use an ARRAY of textboxes:

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()    Dim iLoop As Integer
    Dim numOccurences As Integer
    Dim z As Integer
    For iLoop = 0 To Text1.Count - 1
        z = InStr(1, Text1(iLoop).Text, Text2.Text)
        If z > 0 Then
            numOccurences = numOccurences + 1
        End If
    Next iLoop
    Debug.Print CStr(numOccurences)
End Sub

---

Code:

---

Private Sub Command2_Click()
    Dim iLoop As Integer
    Dim numOccurences As Integer
    For iLoop = 0 To Text1.Count - 1
        If Text1(iLoop).Text = Text2.Text Then
            numOccurences = numOccurences + 1
        End If
    Next iLoop
    Debug.Print CStr(numOccurences)
End Sub

Here's another way to express that in VB6 (assuming t1 to t4 are textboxes on your VB6-Form):

Code:

---

Result = UBound(Filter(Array(t1, t2, t3, t4), "9")) + 1

It is succinct indeed but alas, this is not what the LINQ expr in OP does.

Here is something closer to the original query

thinBasic Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim vElem       As Variant
    Dim lMax        As Long
    
    With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
        For Each vElem In Array(Text1, Text2, Text3, Text4)
            .Item(vElem.Text) = .Item(vElem.Text) + 1
        Next
        For Each vElem In .Items
            If vElem > lMax Then
                lMax = vElem
            End If
        Next
    End With
    Debug.Print lMax
End Sub

cheers,

Thread moved to .NET from Classic VB, since the OP used LINQ, which is .NET only.

Try this. slight change... Assuming there will always be Integers typed in the textboxes

Code:

---

Public Class Form1

    Dim textboxes() As TextBox

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        textboxes = New TextBox() {TextBox1, TextBox2, TextBox3, TextBox4}
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim x As Integer
        Dim result As String = textboxes.GroupBy(Function(t) If(Integer.TryParse(t.Text, x), x, -1)).OrderByDescending(Function(g) g.Count).First.Count.ToString
        MsgBox(result)
    End Sub

End Class
