Choose function Choose Function [Runtime] Returns a selected value from a list of arguments.

Syntax: Choose (Index, Selection1[, Selection2, ... [,Selection_n]]) Parameters: Index: A numeric expression that specifies the value to return. Selection1: Any expression that contains one of the possible choices. The Choose function returns a value from the list of expressions based on the index value. If Index = 1, the function returns the first expression in the list, if index i= 2, it returns the second expression, and so on. If the index value is less than 1 or greater than the number of expressions listed, the function returns a Null value. The following example uses the Choose function to select a string from several strings that form a menu: Example: Sub ExampleChoose Dim sReturn As String sReturn = ChooseMenu(2) Print sReturn end sub Function ChooseMenu(Index As Integer) ChooseMenu = Choose(Index, "Quick Format", "Save Format", "System Format") End Function
