I was wondering if there was a way to check the total amount of alterable strings in an object?
I'm making an edit box change it's text to one of it's alterable strings (chosen at random) when the user clicks.
So I've got:
Set text to: AltStrN$( "Edit Box", Random( 8 ))
But whenever I add some new alterable strings to the edit box, I have to go in and change the 8 to whatever else. I know this sound real lazy but is it possible to do something like:
Set text to: AltStrN$( "Edit Box", Random((total number of AltStrings in "edit box")))

No such function. If you had it as a String object, with X numbers of paragraphs, and it set the edit box to paragraph #X from the string object, you could retrieve the number of paragraphs easily. It just requires a 2nd object, making it impractical if you have more than one

I was starting to think that I would have to use another object 
Especially now that I realise I need more than 10 strings.
