Question

I have to modify a VB6 app and am repeatedly beating my head against a wall over control arrays.

I know that the event handler for the array includes its index value and I can set some variable there, but i should be able to directly access the selected radio button in an array of OptionButton. Currently I’m doing this

For i = 0 To optView.Count - 1
    If optView.Item(i).value = True Then
        currIndex = i
        Exit For
    End If
Next

Is this really my only option?

Answer 1

Yes, this is our only option. The control array object does not contain any selecting logic (which makes sense, as “selected” might mean different things for different controls). The only change I’d make is replacing the For with For Each.
