input and output question

[oasis1000]

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum.

First of all, I am trying to create a program using vb6.

I want to create a program that uses loops.

How do I do this...

The user will input information into a textbox called "txtInput",

there is the command button, "cmdEnter", which will output this information into labels..lbl1, lbl2, lbl3, lbl4 and lbl5.

 

It should look like this..

 

Input Info [Enter Info]

out put here:

lbl1

lbl2

lbl3

lbl4

lbl5

 

 

Can anyone help? should I be using a for-loop?

I can't seem to figure it out, i am new to programming, i'm taking a intro prog class in university.

btw..

thanks for any help

What exactly are you putting the labels?

If you have a fixed number of labels and you expect the text in txtInput to be in a certain format, then I wouldn't use a loop.

 

Normally you would only use a loop to fill controls if the data is unknown and expected to be dynamic (such as if you were reading in an unknown number of fields from a file). If your textbox is to take, say, a first and last name and you want to fill two lables, then don't use a loop to fill each box - hard-code the filling of each label based on however you split the name typed in.

Hello, Im just putting a list of names..

Its a fixed number, but I want to just have one text input box.

 

I have a list of names, lets say its bob, joe,mark,james,troy.

 

The user would put one name at a time into the textbox, press enter and the name will appear on a label below, then the person will enter a another name, press enter and the name will appear under the first name..and etc..

wouldn't i use a for loop...1 to 5

 

thanks for any help
