VBA: Variable length array from user input (6 optional text boxes) - arrays

Question

I have a UserForm with 6 text-boxes, which the user can fill (or not) 2, 3, 4, or 6 or whatever he/she wants. These are called:
eb1, eb2, eb3, ...
At the end of the form there is also an 'accept' buttom, and when the user clicks it a text should appear as follows:
eb1, eb2, eb3, eb4...
Of course one of the problems is that if the user only fills 3 boxes, the result might be:
eb1, eb2, eb3, , ,
How can I do this? I guess I need something like a variable array and a for loop, but no idea how to do that, I am pretty new to VBA.
Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Try below.
Create user form with 6 textboxes & name them as eb1, eb2, eb3, eb4, eb5 & eb6. Then add command button & paste below code to it. Then run the userform & enter some values to text boxes.
Click on the command button to see the msgbox.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
dim str as string
dim a as integer
'Check for text box name & loop through textboxes
for a=1 to 6 'No of text boxes have.(remember that your text boxes should have names like eb1
'find out if there is any blank textboxes & avoid them
if Controls("eb" & a).Value <> "" then
'Correction for front , if eb1 is empty
if str="" then
str=Controls("eb" & a).Value
else
str=str & " , " & Controls("eb" & a).Value
end if
end if
next
msgbox str
end Sub
Final messagebox will give you the result you want. (If I understood your question clearly). I have assumed that you don't need to show anything regards empty textboxes.
