Hi again, Jan,
Message de Jan Holst Jensen date 2009-09-05 22:10 :
This behavior is not exactly clear from the Help description - here
from the Help text about the "Dim Statement":
"Dim declares local variables within subroutines. Global variables
are declared with the PUBLIC or the PRIVATE statement."
So we have global variables that do not hold data globally but only
declare the variable globally. Strange notion... but of course useful
when used in nested calls like I do in the dialog example code I listed.
Would be nice if the help described the lifecycle of variable content
as well as the declaration scope.
Read the Basic Programming Guide, on the Wiki.
<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide/Scope_of_Variables>
The Basic Programming Guide is not up-to-date but is still valuable
for learning the basics of Basic and API.
Regards
Bernard
Much better information than the Help file - thanks. I added a note at
the end of that Wiki page about the scope gotcha.
Cheers
-- Jan
