End of Statement Expected

[Aussie1333]

Hey guys, I'm in high school, and just for a little personal project, I was trying to write a program, and I've got it pretty much downpat, but after the line "Dim lstPizza(8).Ite ms" within this sub:
"Private Sub fmPizza_Load(By Val sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim lstPizza(8).Ite ms
End Sub" it comes up with "End of Statement Expected". I have chatted to my teacher, but he is unsure what to do about it. What should I do???

dear,

Is this vb6 or vb.net ????

Dim lstPizza(8).Ite ms is this even valid ? What are you trying to declare?

dear,

I have never seen a Dim in vb6 with points !!!
If you want to dim a array then (like in your URL) =>

Public Sub LongTask(ByVal Duration As Single, _
                     ByVal MinimumInterval As Single)
   Dim Threshold As Single
   Dim Start As Single
   Dim blnCancel As Boolean

An array is =>

Dim MyArray(8) as integer

When you dimension a var then VB6 gives a list of the possibilities (see attached as...JPG.
And a red colored line if the syntax is wrong (see attached JPG)

Who is talking about vb6? OP didn't mention anything about that and also he posted in the .NET-forum...

@Aussie1333: When you declare something, you want to give it a type. Generally, it looks like this:

Dim variablename As Type

I guess you have in mind that you want to display a list of pizza's in a listbox. For that, you want to create an array of 8 items. Of course, these are all hypothetical assumptions. Say you want to save 8 different names of pizza's. A name is a string, so you create a string array.

Dim strPizzaArray(7) as String

Check out the MSDN on Arrays to learn more. Now, you have an array of 8 empty strings (0...7) you want to fill. You can do that like this:

strPizzaArray(0) = "Pepperoni"
strPizzaArray(1) = "Funghi"
strPizzaArray(2) = "Quattro Formaggio"
etc...

Now, I'm assuming you have a Listbox on a form called Listbox1. You can loop through the array with pizza names to add them to the lisbox. It should look a bit like this:

For a As Integer = 0 to strPizzaArray().Length - 1
  Listbox1.Items.Add(strPizzaArray(a))
Next

I think this should answer some of your questions. Have fun!

I already had the listbox and I had checkboxes and radio buttons to add their text to the listbox, so how do I make it possible for those to be copied?

[MrMancunian]

Please rephrase your question...

"How do I make it possible for <WHAT?> to be copied <WHERE>?"

ok. How do I make it possible for the contents of my listbox to be copied to a word processor or to the clipboard?
