Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

@Geoff

Would it be possible to extend the CONST command to include arrays?

For example;

CLS
Option base 1

Const cellid(6) = (4,5,6,7,8,9)

For i = 1 To 6
GUI textbox cellid(i), 5+(i-1)*133, 85, 120, 50, RGB(red), RGB(gray)
Next i

At the moment I can use this, but I want to be able to refer to the controls in a FOR/NEXT loop as well. Because cellid is a variable there is a risk it could be inadvertently change;

CLS
Option base 1

Dim cellid(6) = (4,5,6,7,8,9)

For i = 1 To 6
GUI textbox cellid(i), 5+(i-1)*133, 85, 120, 50, RGB(red), RGB(gray)
Next i

It should be possible (and easy) because constants and variables are closely related and share a lot of the same code.

I will investigate.
