Looping in VB6:

There are 2 different loop types in VB6.

Code:

For ... Next

Code:

Do ... Loop

Examples:

Dim i as Long
Dim l as long
For i = 0 to 10

For the For ... Next, you can also do

Code:

Dim i as Long
Dim l as long
For i = 0 to 10
     l = l + 1
Next i

Code:

Dim i As Long
Do Until i = 10
    i = i + 1
Loop

Code:

Dim i As Long
Do While i < 100
    i = i + 1
Loop

Code:

Dim i As Long
Do
    i = i + 1
Loop While i < 100
