[RESOLVED] array problem again

[flyhigh]

hey yall what i need to do is replace player2 with another array
do i dim it as string and if i do i get a miss match error
what ive tryed is this


dim names as string

names="player3"
if form1.names(x).tag=s then

if form1.player2(x).tag=s then
endif

[Doogle]

Presumably 'players' is a UDT array so I'd expect 'names' to be a similar UDT array

[flyhigh]

thanks doogle
player2(x) is a picturebox does that matter

[flyhigh]

am i using the wrong methed to change just the word player2 into player3 or player4
thanks

anything that you access witth a dot is an thing with properties

so
formbits are called foemname.bitname
players.tag the tag needs something to be placed on

so
type player
name as string
tag as integer
etc...
end type

would suffice
now you can put your players into an array

dim players(22) as player

thats the football teams in a match dealt with ... note no substitutes and the manager is not allowed on the pitch!

OH english football!

hope that helps

the only way i could get it to work is

dim names as string
names=form1.player3(x).tag

if names=s then
endif

[flyhigh]

ok start over again


what i have is .
they all have an index 0 and 1.
i cant change the names of all of them to players(1 to 10)

 if form1.player2(x).tag=s
endif
 if form1.player3(x).tag=s
endif
 if form1.player4(x).tag=s
endif
 if form1.player5(x).tag=s
endif

in a module
i have all of player2 .
so to keep from make 8 copys i need to switch to player2 - player8 ive tried udt im getting errors of course

For x = 0 To 1
        If Val(Form1.player2(x).Tag) = 13 Or Val(Form1.player2(x).Tag) = 26 Or Val(Form1.player2(x).Tag) = 39 Or Val(Form1.player2(x).Tag) = 52 Then
           holdsum = holdsum + 1
        End If
    Next x
