How can I cycle through an Enum list?

joy.simpson

This is as far as I got. I can only display one at a time. What I want to do is display each of the values in the Enum list in a loop. Can I use a For Each loop to do this? I tried it and it wouldn't work. Please help. (After I get it to work, I will also need to do it in C# - It's for a class demo.) Public Enum dressize petite = 4 small = 8 medium = 12 large = 16 extralarge = 20 End Enum Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim mysize As dressize = dressize.medium Console.WriteLine("Size {0} is {1}", dressize.large, CInt(dressize.large)) Console.WriteLine("My size is {0} - {1}", CInt(mysize), mysize) Console.WriteLine() End Sub End Module

The following works in the Console mode. I don't know about comboboxes. Module Module1 Public Enum dressize petite = 4 small = 8 medium = 12 large = 16 exlarge = 20 End Enum Sub Main() Dim size As String, i As Integer Console.WriteLine("Available sizes:" & vbLf) Dim value As Integer Dim array As Array = [Enum].GetValues(GetType(dressize)) For Each value In array Dim name As String = [Enum].GetName(GetType(dressize), value) Console.WriteLine("Name: " & name & vbTab & "Size: " & value) Next value Console.WriteLine() For Each size In [Enum].GetNames(GetType(dressize)) Console.WriteLine("Size {0} is {1}", CType([Enum].Parse(GetType(dressize), size), Integer), size) Next size Console.WriteLine() End Sub End Module
