VB project, need some help please

Snowball

have a simple problem with my VBproject.

We r suposed to do a poker game, o more acuratly the start of a poker game. anyways. We r useing a dll (card32.dll if I remember corectly) to display the deck of cards. Now the problem is:

When I sort the cards so that they are player 1 in one row and 2 in another and so on I can sort them so that they are seperated or overlapping (the cards pertaining to player 1, 2 and so on) but when I go to seperate the players so that the cards are not touching i cant get ot right. I can get the 1st and 2nd lines to seperate but the rest always mess up

the code is:

Call Openers(Players)
intImgNo = 1
For intPlayer = 1 To Val(txtNumPlayers.Text)
For intCard = 1 To 5
LastPlayers.Text = txtNumPlayers.Text
Load imgPoker(intImgNo)
imgPoker(intImgNo).Visible = True
imgPoker(intImgNo).Left = imgPoker(intCard - 1).Left + imgPoker(intCard - 1).Width * 0.75
imgPoker(intImgNo).Picture = TheDeck.SetCardImage(Players(intPlayer, intCard))
imgPoker(intImgNo).Top = imgPoker(0).Top + imgPoker(intPlayer - 1).Height * intPlayer + 100
intImgNo = intImgNo + 1
Next
Next
For intImgNo = 1 To 5
imgPoker(intImgNo).Top = (imgPoker(0).Top) + 1450
Next

and the pic should explain what I mean



p.s: I know the code is sh!t but I will be changing some of it. its jut modified code of mine from ealier and melded with my lecturars stuff. the whole openers thing is gotta go.

str8_away

imgPoker(intImgNo).Top = imgPoker(0).Top + imgPoker(intPlayer - 1).Height * intPlayer + 100

Your problem is in this line.
Think what you are trying to do.

imgPoker(intImgNo).Top = FirstCard.Top + (height_of_card * row number) + gap_between_row.

This only gives you ONE gap.

try
imgPoker(intImgNo).Top = FirstCard.Top + (height_of_card + gap_between_row) * row number.


hope this helps
