Hi,
I'm new to this so I could really do with some help!
I am using VB.net to create a small game. basically there is a Textbox, a
button and a listbox.
The user enters a number into the textbox which is then validated against a
random number which is generated using the Rnd function. When the user clicks
the button, they either get a message saying Too Low, Too High or Spot On.
This number is then copied into the listbox as a reminder of whats been
guessed.
What I need is a function to run which checks whats already been entered and
displays a message saying that its "already been tried" if its in the listbox.
Basically, HOW do i do this? I have tried trawling the net and newsgroups
and books but cant work it out.
Can anyone help?

Try this:
Given that "iGuessedNu m" is an integer in the text box (assuming you're
doing this in VB):
Dim bAlreadyBeenGue ssed As Boolean = False
For Each strItem As String In ListBox1.Items
If strItem = iGuessedNum Then
bAlreadyBeenGue ssed = True
Exit For
End If
Next
Then, if bAlreadyBeenGue ssed is true, then the number has already been
guessed.
This is a bit of a sloppy example doing implicit conversions but you get
the point of how to enumerate through items in a listbox.

Brandon,
You're a star - Thank you!
I know that this is is really simple for some people and looking at what the
actual functions are Iv'e sort of understood it, like renaming the items to
be the same as mine etc.. Ive also added a message box in so that if the
number is entered more than once it says so
What I also need to do, is prevent the number now being added to the listbox
again... So how can i prevent the rest of the code running which does the
adding of the number in the Add the numbers guessed into the listbox? ie
(listGuess.Item s.Add(txtGuess. Text)) and displays messages and checks whether
the number being guessed is <=> the random number?
Sorry to be a pain!

If I understand correctly you don't want to have a number x (let's say 3,
for instance) added to the listbox twice.
From a design perspective here, you have 2 decisions the program needs to
make that both require one question to be answered: "Does this number
already exist in the listbox?" Therefore, this calls for a function. For
example, I've taken the code below and made a function called
"DoesNumberExis tInListBox":
----------------------------
Public Function DoesNumberExist InListBox(ByVal iGuessedNum As Integer)
As Boolean
Dim bExistsInListbo x As Boolean = False
For Each strItem As String In ListBox1.Items
If strItem = iGuessedNum Then
bExistsInListbo x = True
Exit For
End If
Next
Return bExistsInListbo x
End Function
----------------------------
Now, you can find out if the number has been guessed, and not insert it into
the listbox like so:
Dim bAlreadyGuessed As Boolean
bAlreadyGuessed = DoesNumberExist InListBox(Me.Te xtBox1.Text)
If bAlreadyGuessed Then
MessageBox.Show ("You've already guessed that number!")
Else
ListBox1.Items. Add(Me.TextBox1 .Text)
End If
I'm not completely sure if that's what you're looking for, but let us know!

Thanks Brandon,
This is the code I have now after amending it to fit my control names:
Private Sub Button1_Enter(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles btnGuess.Click
Dim intGuess As Long
Dim UpperBound As Long
Dim LowerBound As Long
'check the number being entered into the textbox against the random
number set
If IsNumeric(txtGu ess.Text) Then
intGuess = CLng(txtGuess.T ext)
Else
' If no text enetered and button clciked, display message
MsgBox("Enter a number into the textbox!")
End If
'check if the number in the textbox is in the listbox and display a
message if it is
Dim bAlreadyGuessed As Boolean
bAlreadyGuessed = DoesNumberExist InListBox(intGu ess)
If bAlreadyGuessed Then
MessageBox.Show ("You've already guessed that number!")
Else
listGuess.Items .Add(intGuess)
' And it now works like a treat!
Thanks for your help!
