The variable is "Day", now the thing is, i need to test for three days and have corresponding variables, day1, day2, day3. But i want the number's added from a counter. So... i want to know if there is an operator that can change with the counter and adjust the variable? code i have so far: for count1 := 1 to 3 do begin inputquery('How many hours Available on Day '+inttostr(count1),'Hours',temp2); if strtoint(temp2) > 3 then inc(day$); { ^ Operator which i want to sync with the counter} end; And 1 other thing, I'm running various tests from the formcreate procedure. But i have to break to go to another procedure, now. Is there a way to continue the code within the formcreate procedure without recreating the form? Thanks A lot.

My best guess is the following. var day: array[1..3] of integer; begin for count1 := 1 to 3 do begin inputquery('How many hours Available on Day '+inttostr(count1),'Hours',temp2); if strtoint(temp2) > 3 then inc(day[count1]); { ^ Operator which i want to sync with the counter} end; Just call the other procedure from your FormCreate event handler and control will return to the ForCreate event handler when the other procedure finishes executing. -- Bill (TeamB) (TeamB cannot respond to questions received via email) Back to top Jean-Michel Guest Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2003 11:01 am    Post subject: Re: Variable Help Hey, Thanks for all your help so far. But, I'm not quite sure what you mean by the second part. How do i call the procedure in the FormCreate procedure? If you could maybe give me an example? Thanks A lot.

The thing is that the FormCreate procedure uses loops to gather information, but it has to stop after each loop and wait for a buttonclick procedure to be completed(in which i test whether some checkboxs are selected and adjusted the respective vars). Then continue with the loops in the FormCreate procedure. Sorry to be difficult. Thanks for the help.

The thing is that the FormCreate procedure uses loops to gather information, but it has to stop after each loop and wait for a buttonclick procedure to be completed(in which i test whether some checkboxs are selected and adjusted the respective vars). Sorry but I am totally confused. Why don't you just put the code in the button's OnClick event handler so it runs each time the button is clicked. I also do not know if the button is on the form whose OnCreate event handler we are discussing or on another form. I need a complete explanation of the process before I can tell you how to structure the code. -- Bill (TeamB) (TeamB cannot respond to questions received via email) Back to top Jean-Michel Guest Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2003 5:08 am    Post subject: Re: Variable Help Okay Cool, Well here goes. From application runtime, a set of loops are initiated to gather various pieces of information. All of whch is in the FormCreate procedure, then at the end of each loop, it breaks and waits for the user to make a selection from a group of checkboxs(on the form whose FormCreate procedure we are discussing) and press the "continue" button. Thus repeating the loops and breaking to await user input again. I hope this is slightly clearer.

On Form1 the user would click a button or make a menu selection to start the loops. At the end of each loop I would show a second modal form where the user could set the checkboxes and click OK to continue. -- Bill (TeamB) (TeamB cannot respond to questions received via email) Back to top Jean-Michel Guest Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2003 3:44 pm    Post subject: Re: Variable Help Okay, Thanks very much.

No, not as I understand what you are doing. Using your approach there is no way for the user to know when the loop has ended and no way to pause execution of the loop while the user interacts with the form. -- Bill (TeamB) (TeamB cannot respond to questions received via email) Back to top Jean-Michel Guest Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2003 10:24 pm    Post subject: Re: Variable Help Oh, sorry. I misphrased that. the loops are also for user inputed info.(using inputqueries). i was using break to pause and go to the second set. But i don't have a way of returning to the loops. Well no matter, if you can think of anything, I appreciate it. Otherwise, don't worry about it. Enjoy your weekend.

But i don't have a way of returning to the loops. The Break command does not pause anything. It just jumps out of the current loop and continues execution with the first statement after the loop. InputQuery shows a modal dialog box so it is just another way of implementing my suggestion. -- Bill (TeamB) (TeamB cannot respond to questions received via email) Back to top Jean-Michel Guest Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2003 11:09 pm    Post subject: Re: Variable Help Sorry another mis phrasing of words, but i think you get what i'm trying to say. I break the loops which gather specific information from the user, to go to a group of checkboxs' whcih the user must choose at least one of. Then, here's my problem i want to re-initiate the loops in the FormCreate procedure. Of which so far, you have said is not possible. Hope that's clear enough and that you have any ideas' Thanks J-M Quote: The Break command does not pause anything.

To answer your question, no, I do not understand what you are doing. My best guess now is that you need to run some process when the form opens then run it again after the user does something in the form. If that is the case then put the code with the loops in a custom method. Call the custom method from the OnCreate event handler. Call the custom method again when the user clicks a button on the form. Does that make sense? -- Bill (TeamB) (TeamB cannot respond to questions received via email) Back to top Jean-Michel Guest Posted: Thu Oct 30, 2003 9:14 am    Post subject: Re: Variable Help Yeah, I was just thinking about somehing along those lines. Not quite what i wanted, but i suppose even in the creation of things there are limitations. Thanks for all your help.
