I've been trying to create a program which displays every possible combination of letters, alongside some punctuation. It starts by running a single character through every letter, then it adds another character, and does the same thing, with each character only advancing when the previous one has run through every letter once again.
Naturally, I've encountered some issues. Whenever I'm testing it in the compiler, everything works fine. However, when I try and run the finished application, it only runs until some time around when the 3rd or 4th characters get added, at which point it stops responding. my code goes as follows:
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Public Class Form1
Dim blnAutoAdvance As Boolean = False
'Dim strOutputDisplay As String = ""
Dim intTotChars As Integer = 57
Dim intCharToWrite As Integer = 1 'the character to be written
Dim intDigits As Integer = 0
Dim finDisplay(1) As Char
Dim intDigToWrite As Integer = 0
Dim intTotDig As Integer = 1
Dim intTotDigsave As Integer = 1
Dim intCharToEdit As Integer = 1 ' chooses which char to edit
Dim Character(32) As Char
Dim AllCurrentChars(1) As Integer
Private Sub btnScroll_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnScroll.Click
Do
finDisplay(intCharToEdit) = Character(intCharToWrite)
Do While finDisplay(intCharToEdit) = "+"
finDisplay(intCharToEdit) = "a"
intCharToEdit = intCharToEdit + 1
If intCharToEdit >= intTotDig Then
intTotDig = intCharToEdit
ReDim Preserve finDisplay(intTotChars)
ReDim Preserve AllCurrentChars(intTotChars)
End If
AllCurrentChars(intCharToEdit) += 1
If AllCurrentChars(intCharToEdit) = 33 Then
AllCurrentChars(intCharToEdit) = 1
End If
finDisplay(intCharToEdit) = Character(AllCurrentChars(intCharToEdit))
Loop
intCharToEdit = 1
lblDisplay.Text = finDisplay(intDigToWrite)
intDigToWrite += 1
Do
lblDisplay.Text = lblDisplay.Text & finDisplay(intDigToWrite)
intDigToWrite += 1
Loop While intDigToWrite <= intTotDig
intDigToWrite = 0
intCharToWrite += 1
If intCharToWrite = 33 Then
intCharToWrite = 1
End If
Refresh()
Loop
End Sub
Private Sub btnStop_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnStop.Click
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Character(2) = "b"

End Sub
