Yep, you're right, Doug. The wiki article has the full working example,
rather than my poor off the top of my head example.

Aaron's response is nicely more succinct than mine and indicates that you
shouldn't have to write a Class_Initialize function in this case, but
I think the "set init = me" line is required in order for this
approach to work, and that init would therefore need to be a function
rather than a sub

Class_Initialize doesn't take parameters. You can add a custom
Init/Start routine to your class, which accepts the parameters you want
to use. Then you can instantiate the class, and call the custom routine
in one line, like this:
Class MyClass
Private a, b, c
Public Sub Init(x, y, z)
a = x
b = y
c = z
End Sub
End Class
Set myObject = (New MyClass).Init(1, 2, 3)
The wiki article "[1]Using Class Based Event Handlers" demonstrates
this practice.

Hello,
Does VB Script support a way to parameterize a class? In some
languages, it is possible to define a 'virtual' or 'generic' class,
such that when it is instantiated, the developer supplies the
required parameters. For example, a virtual stack may be one number
deep in one instance and another depth in a second instance. Or, the
contents of the stack may be trucks in one, cows in a second, or
temperatures in a third. In other words, it might be possible to
define stacks of differing depths, differing objects, or both. For
example, supply the required parameters and one could get a stack of
up to 8 cows, etc.
I'm not finding any way to have half a dozen 'stacks' for my data
objects -- one stack of four, another of 13, and the rest with 22.
Thanks for any help with this one!
Dave
