Storing arrays in a custom property

2007-02-18 Thread Ian McKnight
Hi I have an array ( tSolnA ) which consists of some 900+ records. Each record has between 2 and 14 items of comma separated data associated with a unique 4 digit key. As this data will not change when the stack is used I had thought of putting the array into a custom property ( uSolutionList)

Re: Storing arrays in a custom property

2007-02-18 Thread Mark Smith
Ian, to store an array, you need to set a customPropertySet: set the customProperties[uSolutionList] of this stack to tSolnA then, to access it put the uSolutionList[key] of this stack into tVar set the uSolutionList[key] of this stack to tVar Best, Mark On 18 Feb 2007, at 15:14, Ian

Tiemo, The best Quicktime-compatible codec we've found is 3ivx. Best compression yielding the best graphics. It's at 3ivx.com, for both Windows and Mac. It's used commercially, for example, in the Pure Digital Point Shoot video cameras (which are rather amazing little camcorders). Yes,

As far as the form designer goes: I understand that this is not trivial. I assume that your point is that anything done from, say the message box, would be hard to keep track of and undo. True. It would be reasonable if basic IDE actions could be undone. Other form designers can accomplish this.
