How to have an array of labels randomly appear

[larzi]

I have 20 labels that belong to an array. Then i have another Label that i want them to copy to in a random order. I'm doing a test for children and they have 10 questions that they have to answer, but i want these questions to be randomly selected out of the 20 labels. At the moment my code is:
Private Sub cmdcontinue_Click()
Dim quest As String, poss As String, Index(1 To 20) As Integer
Randomize
poss = (RndIndex * 10) + 1
quest = lblquestion.Caption
poss = lblrand.count
quest = poss
End Sub

At the moment it isn't doing anything, and before it was only showing the number 20????

Private Sub cmdcontinue_Click()
Dim quest As String, poss As String, Index(1 To 20) As Integer
Randomize
poss = (RndIndex * 10) + 1
quest = lblquestion.Caption
poss = lblrand.count
quest = poss
End Sub

Have few questions.

1.The variable Poss is declared String, but assigend an Integer?
2. RndIndex - where is it declared?
3. what is the purpose of this line quest = poss?
4. you have poss = (RndIndex * 10) + 1 and poss = lblrand.count. What is the purpose?
5. how do you want to select the lables? I mean , do you randomly set their visible=True, or something else?

On using Random Numbers, tkae a look at this

Maintain the questions and answers in a string array rather than using form controls to hold values. In the string array, each array element will have a question mark as delimiter between question and answer.

Shuffle the string array, or randomize the order of the array elements. Do a search, this has been demonstrated several times.

Iterate through the first 10 elements of the shuffled array (out of possible 20), you will have your 10 random questions and answers, non-repeating. Use Split() function to separate question from answer, eg.

For i = 1 to 10 'or 0 to 9 depending on the indices your using
   label1(i).Caption = Split(strArr, "?")(0) 'question stored in Caption property
   label1(i).Tag = Split(strArr, "?")(1)  'answer stored in Tag property
Next
