I'm starting to convert a large VBA project into OOBasic, and it mostly looks
straightforward; however, i've hit a stumbling block because I have a number
of structures declared with arrays in them, and the OO compiler says I can't
have arrays inside of structs. So I'm not at all sure how to work around
this.
For example, I have these structures:
Type FieldPairType
fieldName As String
fieldValue As String
End Type
Type FieldsListType
fieldCnt As Integer
fieldsAllocated As Integer
fields() As FieldPairType
End Type
And I dynamically resize (ReDim) the fields array as required when working
with this type. The compiler won't allow me to declare fields() inside the
structure. There's got to be a way around this, but I don't see it yet. I
guess i can turn FieldPairType into a class and then make fields a linked
list of objects, but I've got more than a few structures that work this way,
and that means a lot of extra work.
Is there an easier way to handle a dynamically sized 'array' of values
inside a structure in OO Basic?
Have you tried using a variant type and assigning an array to it? I do
not know if this will work or not. i think that I tried this some years
back, but I do not remember the outcome.
