Can someone explain embedded arrays further?

i understand nothing.

i know what a normal array is and that it can be static or dynamic.

But "embedded arrays are just a way to access a part of a Gambas object"

for example i have a TextBox1 how can i use an embedded array on it?

You mean do use the TextBox1 as an array..? For example to enumerate its
properties? i cant think what do you mean.

If there is an example to demonstrate the differences. Please.
