High Class Question

[Theo The O]

I'm making a program that does various things in a complicated way and there's a a bug

I'm using a lot of modules which get used, then left alone for a long time, some of these modules use class modules, but a lot of the time instances of these classes are left open after the module is finished with.

I don't want to change the whole structure of my program to close them but I do want them closed.

Can I get a collection or something of all instances of a certain class so I can just loop through and close them.

If you implement a common inferface with all of the classes, shouldn't you be able to do just that?

[Theo The O]

I don't understand. I need to be able to close all instances of a class, how will making the the interfaces of different classes the same help?

[kedaman]

You would have to close them manually

If you have several objects declared in different modules, i think you could make all modules containg two methods, one that inits all objects and one that unloads them..
For instance:

Module1.InitObjs
Module2.InitObjs
'Do stuff
Module1.TerminateObjs
Module2.TerminateObjs

Then you have in the modules

Public object1 as class1,object2 as class1

sub InitObjs
 Set object1=new class1
 set object2=new class2
end sub
sub TerminateObjs
 Set object1=nothing
 set object2=nothing
end sub

[Theo The O]

That's exactly what I wanted to avoid

[kedaman]

Well, you can't, but there's another way

you can load all objects under one main object, and then you unload the main object, which will terminate all subobjects
