Using Arrays [resolved]

[GrimmReaper]

Hello Everyone!
In a Module I've declared an array ands a counter variable like so:

Public LPProgLoc(9) As String
    Public IndLP As Integer

The purpose of this array is to store 10 program locations on the pc. The catch is that I used 2 seperate forms. One to start the programs, and one to browse for the programs.
On my first form I'm trying to use the counter variable like:

Dim LPEditProp As New frmLPEditProp
 
        If RadioButton1.Checked  = True Then
            IndLP = 0
        ElseIf RadioButton2.Checked = True Then
            IndLP = 1
        End If
 
        If (LPEditProp.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK) Then
               LPProgLoc(IndLP) = LPEditProp.ofdLPBrowse.FileName
        End If
    End Sub

But the problem is that it doesn't store all the programs in the array - it just loads the last inserted item.
I want to have 2 different radiobuttons load 2 different programs, instead of 2 different radio buttons loading the same program.
How can I achieve that?

I don't quite see what the issue is. As long as you check a different RadioButton each time and select a different file in the OpenFileDialog each time then it should assign the two different file paths to the first two elements.

Yes I agree, and that's precisely the issue

When I execute the first selected program, it works, but when I want to execute the second and third etc. programs, it still loads the first.
How do I refer to elements of an array?

Hi,

Surely if you are using two forms then the following declaration should be global???

Dim LPEditProp As New frmLPEditProp


Where have you declared it anyway?

Hello, thanx for the advice, but the form's declaration doesn't necessary have to be global (because the second form won't always be open)
I have managed to resolve my issue, you see, I used classes to create control arrays - The problem was that everything was stored into only one location of the array, so I redimmed the array and in the control array's class's event handler, I set the counter variable to the class' Index value, tested about 25 now, and it gives me my desired results everytime.

Thanx everyone for your input.
I'm getting good at this!
