dim total_1 as integer
lbl_Dots.text = " "
'Used alt+7 for the dot… I’m trying to get the dot to show like this from a given count entered by the user, for example the user inputs 4. How do I fix this? I’m kind of lost here.
'Cyclic Bight Count
for j as integer = 1 to total_1
lbl_Dots.text = str (j)
Next
Thanks Brian
[quote]lbl_Dots.text =""
for j as integer = 1 to total_1
lbl_Dots.text = lbl_Dots.text + str (j)[/quote]
I think Jeff beat me too it Here is my code:
[code]Sub Action() Handles Action
//clear the label
lbl_Dots.text = “”
//determine how many dots to add
Dim total_1 as Integer = 3
//create the dot encoding in windows
Dim myChar as String
myChar = Encodings.WindowsANSI.Chr(149)
//show the dots
for j as integer = 1 to total_1
lbl_Dots.text = lbl_Dots.text + myChar
Next
End Sub
[/code]

This is what it looks like so far.
Brian
Serves me right for quick copy and paste.
It’s you that put the numbers there, Brian… thats what str(j) does.
If you only want * do this
lbl_Dots.text =""
for j as integer = 1 to total_1
lbl_Dots.text = lbl_Dots.text + " "
if you want a number followed by *** do this
lbl_Dots.text =str(j)
for j as integer = 1 to total_1
lbl_Dots.text = lbl_Dots.text + " "
