Is there any way that I can make an Array of a Public Type?
If i could it would make my project a lot easier. Code Plz.

Public MyArray() As String

A string is a type, therefore, a public string is a public type.

you know thats not what i meant, u can make your own types in vb, but forget it

Well, how Grok explained it is how you would do it I imagine.

Code Select

Public MyArray() as MyType

Grok · February 24, 2003, 12:55 PM

Well there's Enums and Types...

Code Select

Public Enum STATE_CODE
    AK
    AL
    GA
    FL
    'etc
End Enum

Public Type MyNewType
    FirstName As String
    LastName As String
    Address1 As String
    Address2 As String
    State as STATE_CODE
End Type
Public Locator() As MyNewType   'array of custom public type

Sub Main
    ReDim Locator(0 to 0)
    Locator(0).FirstName = "Atom"
    Locator(0).LastName = "Ant"
    Locator(0).Address1 = "123 Anystreet"
    Locator(0).State = FL
End Sub

Any questions, just ask.

Can you do Unions in vb?

Of course not! What, you think VB gives users any control over the variables' placement in memory?

ahhh see my problem was that i was thinking, that if i did that i would be declaring the variable twice, when actually the first time i was declaring the type and not the variable, thanks grok
