The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Collection Objects and Text box comparison

Asked by glenart10 in Visual Basic Programming

Tags: collection, text, box, object

I am trying to use a collection object to store the values that are in 10 text boxes on my form.  

Then I try to see if any of those values match up with a specific value called HitBox (it could be anything).  
If there is no match, I want the routine to give a message box telling the user to try entering the correct value in one
of the text boxes in the form.  

My text box names are Tab_Name_i   where i =1 to 10
STATUS_TEXT is a textbox object which gives the user periodic update information.  

Here is what I have so far which does NOT blow up but does not work either.  

Dim Col As New Collection
Dim i As Integer
            ' Get data from textboxes on Country_Tab_Name Form
               
                Col.Add Me.Tab_Name_1
                Col.Add Me.Tab_Name_2
                Col.Add Me.Tab_Name_3
                Col.Add Me.Tab_Name_4
                Col.Add Me.Tab_Name_5
                Col.Add Me.Tab_Name_6
                Col.Add Me.Tab_Name_7
                Col.Add Me.Tab_Name_8
                Col.Add Me.Tab_Name_9
                Col.Add Me.Tab_Name_10
               
            ' Search collection object COL
                   
                        For i = 1 To 10
                            If Col.Item(i) = "Hitbox" Then
                                Me.STATUS_TEXT.SetFocus
                                STATUS_TEXT.Text = "Found HitBox Tab"
                            Else
                                MsgBox ("The HitBox name/tab was not found on this form. ABORTING")
                            End If
                        Next i
