Hello, Im pretty new to VB, and im trying to learn it.
Im trying to make all the Selection's (like male/female, pick character, Class selection) as pictures instead of those nasty "lists" etc...
So my question is: How can i set the Class selection as Option buttons?


This is the current one as a ComboBox but i need it in OptionButtons:

The way I would do it (although some may argue against it, it may be bad coding practice) is just make the images and when you click the image have it set cmbClass.ListIndex = 0. Or 1 or 2 or whatever. Then hide the combo box off the screen.

hmmm, ok.

That's what Vegeta is talking about. It does everything you need it to do, without seeing the list box and it looking the exact way you asked about.

Oh right I got confused between pictures and option buttons haha.

Dunno if its right but, i made three new Option Buttons....



Im sure its 100% wrong?

yeah thats right

am i right that its 100% wrong or is it correctly done?

If its correct then, whats up with these values?

100% you are correct. Those values are assigned by when you click on a class. Since when you click on an option, its just like clicking in the combo box. So it should still assign those values.

EDIT: The STR(Class(cmbClass.ListIndex).HP) is basically the class. Lets say the listindex = 0. Thats Class0. It gets the stats from there.

or replace this part

with a variable, like:

And set iIndex to whatever char it is you pressed on.

But wouldnt it work just by leaving it as STR(Class(cmbClass.ListIndex).SP) or whatever.? I mean its just like clicking on the cmbClass itself and selecting a class. Except you're just settings its listindex by code..

First of all... will the number of classes you use ever change?

Second of all... it probably will, and this will be a pain.

You could have the form set up at run time to be the correct size, and have the correct number of option buttons, etc. Google documentation on creating form elements at run time.

Nextly, I would create a control array, so you would have radiobutton(0), radiobutton(1), radiobutton(2), etc.

Create a function called "Update Form" and call that from each radio buttons click event. radiobutton(0) would call UpdateForm(0), where radiobutton(1) would call UpdateForm(1), etc.

Have the UpdateForm function update the form based on the values that are sent to you when you open the form.

wow, tought i would be easy...
Just to copy the values from the Combox and paste into a Optionbox.

But if make the number of classes and i wont change them after that.
Would that be easyier?

It's very easy, just doesn't seem like you know the basics. Is suggest you read some tutorials to learn about variables and such.

If you have a base set amount of classes, and you're not going to change it anytime soon, it's really simple.



Or something along those lines anyways.

He has already said that lol

I know he has. But he then said that he didn't think it would be hard. So I made that post.

Pay attention.
