Need help on a Project

[halo combat22]

I use Vb6.
I m looking for an easier way to make this program.
The program i need uses arrays and tries to get 5 different numbers. The purpose of this program is to loop through until the user puts in 5 distinct integers. The way i did it before is.

For instance,
I get the user to input the first number.
I get the user to input the second number, if it is the same as the first that it warns the user and ask it for the number again.
I keep doing this loop until i get all 5 numbers, the problem is that it takes a large size of code to do this. I wonder if there is an easier way to get the user to input 5 distinct numbers.

hi
this can be done with the help of ado recordset.

Dim rstNumber As New ADODB.Recordset
rstNumber.Fields.Append "Number", adDouble
rstNumber.Open
Dim intNewNumber As Integer
With rstNumber
    Do While .RecordCount < 5
        intNewNumber = Val(InputBox("Enter Number", "Title"))
        If .RecordCount > 0 Then
            .MoveFirst
            .Find "Number = " & intNewNumber
        End If
        If Not .EOF Then
            MsgBox "This number already exists."
        Else
            .AddNew
            .Fields("Number").Value = intNewNumber
        End If
    Loop
End With

Why would you go to all the trouble of setting up a database for this?

No need to go for database connection for this at all.

Have it this way:


Have an array with index from 0 to 4.
Then every time the user inputs a number it will loop through the array and
check if there exists the same number:

Dim myArray(0 To 4)
set myArray(i%)
For i  = 0 To 4
  ' Your code here for checking if it's a unique number.
  ' If it's unique then insert it in the array.
Next

Hope this will help.

Hi,

Why don't you simply place 5 textboxes on the form, maybe in a control array?

Write distinct checking in a command button, by looping through the control array. Or write the code in textbox's Validate/LostFocus event.
