Hi: Structs are old school and replaced by newer and much more powerfull and
faster methods.
You can use a Class to build any type of combination of data types and
related subroutines functions and properties.
Then you can just use a Generic list to hold instances of that class and you
have a super struct.
This approach is derived from the concept of Objects and a part of Object
Orientated Programming used by many languages these days.
It will take you some time to learn OOP and how to build good Classes but it
will be well worth it.
Everything in .net and the other major languages I am aware of use
NameSpaces and Classes as the basic structure of their code blocks.

Subject: Struct datatype query
Hello,
I do not find any sort of reference to any kind of record or struct
datatype. So, I conclude VBS has no such support for an aggregate type
that can hold different datatypes in it. Unlike an array which holds
homogenious datatypes, a struct can hold various types as a single
aggregate. Is my conclusion correct? If so, I'll have to resort to several
arrays -- one for each struct field. Gadd, what a lot of error-prone
overhead!
If I am wrong, please point me to where I need to look! Thanks!
