Will this work? Is it more efficient?

I wanted to be able to write without a keyboard, so i made one. It is for name input in games, i have designed it to be easy to put into almost any program as a sub.

However, i use a lot of IF statements. They nearly all are for mouse co-ordinates, all off wich are exact distances apart.

I was wondering if it were possible to do a DO LOOP to achieve the same sort of output.

i think it would be a bit like this....written here not in qb..the values are not set properly, i doubt it works as is, it is for the first 10 squares, 0-9

cnt% =0: tlstart% = 80:tlend% = 110 (screen coordiantes for first tile sides)

IF MB = 1 and my > 120 AND my < 152 THEN
DO
if mx> tlstart% and my < tlend% THEN usr$ = usr$ + STR$(cnt%):exit do
cnt% = cnt% + 1:tlstart% = tlstart% + 40:tlend% = tlstart% + 30
LOOP INTIL CNT% = 10
END IF

I would do the same again for the letters and other buttons.though they may need to be a bit more complex

My Code for the program is as follows, feel free to use it if you want....UNSEEN
