Hey guys, it's your friendly neighborhood willydigger here,

I just finished my intro to VB college course and I have a question. The final project was a TicTacToe game. In the game I made a grid of label (Label1, Label2, Label3, etc).

When the player or the computer would win, I would change the forecolor of the winning trio from Black to Red to highlight the winning combo. When the game reset I returned the forecolor to Black.

My question is this, can you alter an object name in order to loop?
In order to change the color back to Black I had to write the following:

Label1.ForeColor = Color.Black
Label2.ForeColor = Color.Black
Label3.ForeColor = Color.Black
etc.

Is it possible to do something where I could write one line of code and loop through 1 - 9?

Thanks, any help would be great!

If you had set up the labels as an array you could have had code that looked something like this:

for x=1 to whatever
label(x).forecolor=vbBlack
next x

Hope this helps,

PS: I'm not sure if that is a new VB.NET syntax, but in VB 6, you can change color using the syntax I did....
