Select Case....

End select Control Structure


Lecture 10
Introduction
In this chapter, you will learn another way to control
the program flow, that is, the Select Case control
structure. However, the Select Case control structure is
slightly different from the If....ElseIf control structure .
The difference is that the Select Case control structure
basically only make decision on one expression or
dimension (for example the examination grade) while
the If ...ElseIf statement control structure may evaluate
only one expression, each If....ElseIf statement may
also compute entirely different dimensions. Select Case
is preferred when there exist many different conditions
because using If...Then..ElseIf statements might
become too messy
The format of the Select Case control
structure
Select Case expression
Case value1
Block of one or more VB statements
Case value2
Block of one or more VB Statements
Case value3

Case Else
Block of one or more VB Statements
End Select
Ex 1:
Dim grade As String
Private Sub Compute_Click( )
grade=txtgrade.Text
Select Case grade
Case "A"
result.Caption="High Distinction"
Case "A-"
result.Caption="Distinction"
Case "B"
result.Caption="Credit"
Case "C"
result.Caption="Pass"
Case Else
result.Caption="Fail"
End Select
End Sub
Dim num As Integer
num = Val(Text1.Text)
Select Case num
Case 0
Print "You have entered zero“
Case 1
Print "You have entered one"
Case 2
Print "You have entered two“
Case Else
Print "The number you entered is greater than 2"
End Select
Ex 2:
Dim mark As Single
Private Sub Compute_Click()
'Examination Marks
mark = mrk.Text
Select Case mark
Case Is >= 85
comment.Caption = "Excellence"
Case Is >= 70
comment.Caption = "Good"
Case Is >= 60
comment.Caption = "Above Average"
Case Is >= 50
comment.Caption = "Average"
Case Else
comment.Caption = "Need to work harder"
End Select
End Sub
 ’ is used to comment the statement in VB 6.0
Ex 3:
Dim mark As Single
Private Sub Compute_Click()
‘Examination Marks
mark = mrk.Text
Select Case mark
Case 0 to 49
comment.Caption = "Need to work harder"
Case 50 to 59
comment.Caption = "Average"
Case 60 to 69
comment.Caption = "Above Average"
Case 70 to 84
comment.Caption = "Good"
Case Else
comment.Caption = "Excellence"
End Select
End Sub
