Quiz App that accepts more than 1 choice

[nunu]

Hi, i'm pretty new to VB and need help creating a Quiz application. I see a lot of quiz app that only accept 1 answer with the radial button, but i need a more advance one.

The quiz should be able to accept more than 1 choice using a checkbox. (example: a question with 2 or more answer)
also the questions and answers are in .txt. If you think using a database is more suitable. i wouldn't mind it either,but i prefer it being in .txt.

I desperately need your help. thanx!

if you also know of a good book on VB in building application like this. Please recommend it to me. Thanx.

If you want to answer a quiz with multiple choice, you should use a combobox. Put the control on your form, stick the answers in the combobox, then use a select case statement to check for the correct answer.

i.e.
Select Case cboAnswer.Text

Case "True"
msgbox "Your Answer is Correct!"

Case "False"
msgbox "LOSER!"

End Select

So if I'm reading this correctly, the user can provide multiple answers (bit like one of those awful date-match questionaires... "I like pubs and swimming and reading and gardening" sort of things)

You're on the right track with check boxes.
(Presumably then there aren't any right or wrong answers?)

I would suggest using a control array of checkboxes and a command button. Maybe something like this?

Private sub Command1_Click()
    For i=1 to check1.Count
        If check1(i).Value = 1 then
            ---
        Else
            ---
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

I can't really offer any more advice at this time as you haven't said much about how it will work.
