Class Array Question

How come I have to do this..

VB Code:

Dim a7
a7 = classname.ClassVariant
a7(X, Y) = 3
classname.ClassVariant = a7

When I would like to do this

VB Code:

classname.ClassVariant(X, Y) = 3

Class variant is a variant declared as public in a class declarations area.

Its bugging me.

??

If I don't use the more long winded aproach the array does not get equated. Do I have to do this because my declaration of the array in the class is..

VB Code:

Public ClassVariant

rather than ...

VB Code:

Public ClassVariant() as Variant

?

If it doesn't allow you to do that, you will have to create a function within the class that sets the values instead:

VB Code:

'class
Public Function SetVariant(x As Integer, y As Integer, val As Integer) As Long
ClassVariant(x, y) = val
End Function
'form
classname.SetVariant x, y, 3

Or your way. I don't think there is a way around it..

Which is of course the propper way of doing things. But a pain none the less. Thanks for the reminder phReAk.

Np what-so-ever. I do realise it would be easier to do it your way (the second way), but hey, I think that's what .NET is for :p (?)

I can't help thinking that Microsoft just didn't want to finsh VB. I hate that. Here we all are trying to put out the best software we can, having to use code that needs get arounds for virtually everything you want to do.

Its a bummer.
