DOC: For Each ... Next Statement Does Not Work for Collections

Last reviewed: February 4, 1998
Article ID: Q180487

The information in this article applies to:

Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0, version 1.0

SUMMARY

In Books Online, the description for the "For Each ... Next" statement is as follows:

   "Repeats a group of statements for each element in an array or
   collection."

However, this is not true for collections because you cannot declare a collection in Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0 (VBCE).

MORE INFORMATION

Unlike what's indicated in Books Online, the following code will not work in VBCE because neither the Dim statement's As clause nor New clause are supported:

   Private Sub Command1_Click()
      Dim col As New Collection
      Dim vnt
      col.Add "Item1"
      col.Add "Item2"
      col.Add "Item3"
      col.Add "Item4"
      For Each vnt In col
          MsgBox vnt
      Next
   End Sub
