OK, //CODE EXAMPLE AT END OF MSG I have a subclass of Socket, Which is a socket, but contains some extra data, so that in the event handler, I have more than just the TAG property to work with.
It seems that I cannot have a dynamically sized array. When i try putting: PUBLIC mySW[] as SWSocket At the top of the form class, it says "Arrays are forbidden here" And if I declare it like: Sub Form_Open () DIM mySW[] as SWSocket it says syntax error. It's requiring me to set an array size, which isn't good, and on top of that, I cannot access the socket outside of that function (and i believe the sockets are destroyed once the open sub ends) I'd like a button on the form that works like this PUBLIC SUB btnAdd_Click() mySw[iNextSw] = new SWSocket; mySw[iNextSw].DoSomeMethod() INC iNextSw END 'With a timer that does: PUBLIC SUB Timer_Tick() 'or whatever it is, not important DIM X as Integer FOR X = 0 TO (iNextSw - 1) mySw[X].SendData NEXT END How can I do this? -Robert On Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 12:36 PM, Doriano Blengino < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rob ha scritto: > > On Thursday 06 November 2008 13:37, Doriano Blengino wrote: > > > >> i.e., LAST is a reference to the object that raised the event, and you > >> can compare it to anything you like (probably widgets). > >> > > > > Yes, that should work, but with limitations.
