How to randomize set boxes

[mattt183]

How do you make set boxes randomly come up when you hit a button? (making a question game)
EXAMPLE:
Question1
Question2
Question3

I press a button and Question2 pops up, Next Time I click Question1 comes up,next time Question 3 comes up (need to make it so the same question doesn't come up twice), also need to make it boxes with text, not just text because i need answers.

You would have to write a complete mini-game script….

I have some ideas, but no idea where you would start...

No. Just no.

There are numerous simple ways you could do this. You could have a control array with different frames (each containing a question and 3 answer buttons) and then have a random number picked when the answer is correct to show the next question.

OR

You could create all different frames with the questions (the same as above) but have a sub that shows the next question that calls a random number and then selects a frame from a select case thingy to show the question.

Nothing too complex is needed.

```
Function ReturnRandomQuestion() as string
    Select Case Rand(1, 3)
        Case 1
              ReturnRandomQuestion = "Hey do you like mudkipz?"
        Case 2
              ReturnRandomQuestion = "Oh sup bro, how are you?"
        Case Else
              ReturnRandomQuestion = "Yeah, i'm cool, aren't i?"
    End Select
End Function

```

yes, but as I said I need boxes, not just text.

You would use the same format. So instead of storing text and having it as a function, you would have a sub that showed a picturebox or a frame. Eg:

```
Public Sub RandomQuestion as string
    Select Case Rand(1, 3)
        Case 1
              fraQuestion1.Visible = True
        Case 2
              fraQuestion2.Visible = True
        Case Else
              fraQuestion3.Visible = True
    End Select
End Sub
```

ahhhhhh, kk, very very new to VB6, thanks

But random would show the question twice so you also have to add a check somewhere shouldn't you? but well it shouldn't be that hard just store if the pic was opened or not somewhere and make it so if it already appeared won't.

If i m wrong about what i just said and you have already found the solution for that sorry just saying what i though i read

That is true, could store all the numbers that are picked randomly in an array or something I guess and check through it before showing the question.
