dynamic array

[Saeed]

In a VB form globally

you can do this
Dim A(8) as Integer

Bt you cant do
Dim A() as integer

coming up with ambigious..

How woudl you declare a dynamic array accessible throughtout the form by any Function or Sub that you can redim here and there
Thanks

[Saeed]

Private damnA() as Long
...
..

Sub F1
i=100
ReDim damnA(1 to i)

End sub

Sub F1
i=200
ReDim damnA(1 to i)

End sub

Declare it in a module as

Public gnArray(0) as integer


In your form

Redim gnArray(100)

or

Redim Preserve gnArray(200)

huh? What are you talking about? I do that all the time and have no problem.

[John G Duffy]

Dim A() as integer

To REDIM an array anywhere within a Form declare it in the General Declarations section of the form.
'
If you wish to access the array from outside the form you can declare it Public or stuff it in a module.
The sample below works just fine

Option Explicit

Dim A() As Integer

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    ReDim A(100)

End Sub

Vb does not like dim outside of a procedure unless it is not going to be redimmed.
I think it has to be Private Dim A() as integer outside of the procedures and inside you can then reDim...


Thanks anyway

Saeed,

I have to disagree with you. I've always used the same syntax to declare a dynamic array in a form. In fact, I've just tested the code below:

Dim A() As Integer

Private Sub Form_Load()
    ReDim A(10)
End Sub

and it worked as expected. Maybe our cases are not the same. Anyhow, what was the error that you received?

I hate It.
VB just poured a bucket of ice water on my head...

It used to happen ..Now its not happening.....
mmmmm
surely there is somethhing wrong with Windows or PC or VB...NOT ME

I used to get a Message that I cant do what I just did , but now it seems to work
without any problem after putting it back to what you suggested.


Thanks for your reply and I am glad you disagreed with me
