[RESOLVED] What is wrong with my code? Print the text onto the form? Help plz!

[Gamemaster1494]

here is my code:

Private Sub tmrHighScore_Timer()
Dim quads

For quads = 1 To i
    If playerscore < scorenum(quads) Then
        FontSize = 10
       Print scorenum(quads) & ""
    ElseIf playerscore > scorenum(quads) And overdo = True Then
        scorenum(quads) = playerscore
        FontSize = 20
       Print scorenum(quads) & ""
        overdo = False
    ElseIf overdo = False Then
        FontSize = 10
        Print scorenum(quads) & ""
    End If
Next quads


End Sub

I get no errors or anything.... What is the problem?

try
me.autoredraw = true
before printing to the form

What's i? If it's zero(or uninitialized), the loop will not be entered.

What's quads, why is it a variant when it's used as an explicit number? Should probably be a long.

OverDo should be a boolean.

I'm guessing you don't use Option Explicit? Please consider it.

Also, why are you using a Timer for printing the highscores (I believe it is )
If you use a PictureBox, then you will get more control over the printing and other things...

Eg:

Picture1.Print "Hi"

.....

Form1.AutoRedraw = True

You'll probably want to set the form's CurrentX and CurrentY before calling print statements.

As your code would eventually end up printing the text outside the viewable area.

I believe the error is in your if-else structure:

For quads = 1 To i
    If playerscore < scorenum(quads) Then
        'do something
    ElseIf playerscore > scorenum(quads) And overdo = True Then
        'do something
    ElseIf overdo = False Then
        'do something
    End If
Next quads

There could be 2 explanations of why nothing happens:

1- For quads=1 To i
Here if i is less than 1 then the loop will not start at all and nothing will happen.
2- If playerscore is EQUAL to scorenum(quads) and overdo=True then again no If condition will be satisfied and nothing will happen.

You should look upon these two possible logical weaknesses of your code and then see if something happens or not.
