RE: [DUG]: VB Like Case statement

[David O'Brien]

With the amount of code lines involved in VB's "case statement", whats wrong with an   if blah then   do_Blah else if blahblah then   do_BlahBlah else if...   I have seen VB's "Select Case" statements embedded within other "Select Case" statements, and it is almost impossible to work out what is going on.   Dave. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Coulter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 15 February 2000 2:38 p.m. To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: VB Like Case statement Hi all.   the one thing I DO miss from VB is its case statement which can be a number or a string.   i.e. select case myvariable        case "Hello"            show_hello       case "goodbye"            show_goodbye      end select.   This  has its good and bad points, BUT ofcourse in Delphi it pretty much has to me an integer etc. Does anyone have any ideas how this could be implemented in Delphi, OR if Delphi has a simlilar type of thing....   THanks,   Jeremy Coulter (manager) Visual Software Solutions 110 Harewood Road Christchurch ph +64 3 3521595 fx +64 3 3521596 cell +21 2533214 http://www.vss.co.nz
