For Loops to prompt a user for 5 facts about a topic.

Question

Any suggestions on how to start a for loop to prompt the user for five facts about a topic. I am a beginner and have not done well with for loops wit past sections and am trying to grasps the concept. I am supposed to create the facts had the user use a input box to get a fact set to a string variable add the fact to the list box. I have a menu box that I have added add fact, remove fact, clear list, and close. I am pretty lost on how to start this code if anyone has any educational tips that they could share with me I would appreciate it.

Here is the base logic where entering nothing or pressing cancel will exit the loop.

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub EnterFactsButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles EnterFactsButton.Click

        FactsListBox.Items.Clear()

        Dim factIndex = 1

        While True

            Dim value = InputBox($"Enter fact {factIndex}")

            If String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value) OrElse factIndex = 5 Then
                Exit While
            Else
                FactsListBox.Items.Add(value)
                factIndex += 1
            End If

        End While

    End Sub
End Class
