C/C++ 'continue' Equivalent in VB6

Question

Is there a VB6 equivalent to the C/C++ 'continue' keyword?

In C/C++, the command 'continue' starts the next iteration of the loop.

Of course, other equivalents exist. I could put the remaining code of the loop in an if-statement. Alternatively, I could use a goto. (Ugh!)

Answer 1

There is no equivalent in VB6, but later versions of VB do introduce this keyword. This article has a more in-depth explanation: http://vbnotebookfor.net/2007/06/04/the-continue-statement/

Perhaps you can restructure your code to either add an if statement or have the loop just call a function that you can return from.

Answer 2

VB6 has no continue statement for loops. You have to emulate it using goto, if, or another loop.

//VB.net do     if condition then continue do     ... loop //VB6 equivalent (goto) do     if condition then goto continue_do     ... continue_do: loop //VB6 equivalent (if) do     if not condition then         ...     endif loop 

You can not use "exit while" in VB6. But you can use goto.

While condition      if should_skip then goto mycontinue      'code      if should_break then goto outloop     mycontinue:  Wend  outloop:
