Image Control Array Help

I am trying to dynamically create image controls by a loop with an array, but I keep getting: "Type Mismatch" in the debugger. Here is the code:

Private Sub mnuNewGame_Click()
varLastLeft = 16
i = 0
While i <= 10
Load imgHand(i)
imgHand(i).Visible = True
imgHand(i).Left = varLastLeft + 89
imgHand(i).Top = 456
imgHand(i).Width = 65
imgHand(i).Height = 89
imgHand(i).Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path + "images\" + i + ".jpg")
i = i + 1
Wend
End Sub

Thanks :)

on which line?

try:
set imgHand(i).Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path + "images\" + i + ".jpg")

What line is the debugger stopping on?

I get a type mismatch just trying to make your string:
To fix:

app.path + "images\" + cstr(i) + ".jpg"

You probably also wanted it to be:
app.path + "\images\" + cstr(i) + ".jpg"

Hossy

Instead of the + symbol, try &:

imgHand(i).Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "images\" & i & ".jpg")

Hossy

+ is used for addition, & is used for concatenation

the debugger points to Load imgHand(i)

Well for the + or & suggestion, I read from this book that either works for concatenation, just that & is more conventional. I am used to + for javascript, so I'm sticking with it..until it's really a problem (ha ha)

Thanks for the help

Oh for varLastLeft = 16..don't mind that. At one point, I thought it was the imgHand(i).left that was causing the problem.

& and + sometimes have behave differently.

Éric Moreau

shouldn't you initialize i to 1 (because normally the instance of imgHand on the form is set to 0) ?

Hossy and emoreau, you were right. I got the problem fixed..and it was mainly some error I made when making the object (it wasn't declared as an array yet!). Then, that new type mismatch error came up, and I had to use &.

Thanks for the help guys. :)
