[RESOLVED] Clear a privat type variable.

Hi,

Anyone knows how to clear a privat type variable?

Example:

Code:

---

'//Clear string variable:
MyDATA$ = ""
MyDATA$ = VbNullString


'//Clear long variable:
MyNUM& = 0

---

How about clearing a private type variable (that have like a million types) in just one line?

Code:

---

Private Type TYPE1
  X1 As String
  X2 As Long
  X3 As Byte
  X4 As Integer
  'etc...
End Type


Private Sub Form_Load()

Dim MyVAR As TYPE1
MyVAR.X1 = "Teste"

'//Clearing:
MyVAR = Nothing
Set MyVAR = Nothing
MyVAR = Empty

MsgBox MyVAR.X1  '// Should return nothing ("").

End Sub

'...


'None of these 3 clearing lines work, I know.

---

How do we do it in vb6? (Please don't tell me that I have to clear each Variable of that type manually? :eek:)

Ok, then I won't tell you that.

This probably is not the proper way, but a quick and dirty way could be to create a new variable of the TYPE1 (on creation it will be empty) then assign it to the one you want to clear

Dim MyVAR As TYPE1
Dim MyVarClear As TYPE1

MyVAR.X1 = "Teste"
MyVAR = MyVarClear

Verry good idea baja_yu! Thank you!
