Question

help me: i need to use multiple check boxes in vb6, but it needs to be like pizza toppings you can choose which one you should put ..

Answer 1

in VB6 you're able to drag and drop components to GUI, in which part do you exactly need help.

Answer 2

well, i need to create pizza toppings wherein in you can choose what you want to add on your pizza.

Answer 3

ok create a new form (Standart EXE), drag and drop checkboxes and labels, modify them as required, this would only be the GUI, then you could start programming.

Answer 4

can you please look at that rar file, you should be able to see my problem clearly from there the checkboxes that needs to be fix .. help me please

Answer 5

I don't have vb6 on this computer but if you send me a screenshot, I'll have a look at it

Answer 6

there :)) the toppings parts. i don't know how to add those like if i choose cheese and tomatoes .. then the total toppings i want should be 2 .. that's where i'm stuck

Answer 7

ahh ok you should've said that before :D

Answer 8

I'll lead you, try this.

create an integer variable and everytime one of the checkboxes clicked add + 1 to that integer, and if the integer reacher 2, so if integer = 2 then msgbox you have reached the max toppings etc

I hope it makes sense

Answer 9

so you're basically setting up a condition for it.

Answer 10

this would be more approprate way to do, when a topping is clicked(checked) add + 1 to integer, if the customer changes their minds and unchecks the topping then integer - 1, this way would be better

Answer 11

figured that i need to do that but what should i use .. for loop .. if then statement? how will it add to the previous added or removed checked box..

Answer 12

create a global integer, you do that by declaring it by the top, then double click on each checkbox and write the same code, which would be

if integer = 2 then
msgbox "max topping is 2"
else if checkbox is checked then
integer - 1
else if check is not checked then
integer + 1
checkbox is checked
end if

Answer 13

whats the current status?

Answer 14

still trying working on it .. ahaha

Answer 15

have you done exactly what I have said above

Answer 16

yup :)) thank you very much but what if the maximum is 10?

Answer 17

then instead of checking for if integer = 2 you check for 10

Answer 18

if integer = 10 then
msgbox "max topping is 10"

so you just replace 2 with 10. and you're done

Answer 19

thank you very much ^_^ its done

Answer 20

no problem, good luck with your project :)
