Declaration

[haruki]

Is it possible to declare with an index?

Dim tile(index) as long

[THEROB]

you can declare with a constant - if you want to declare with a variable you need to:

dim X() as long
redim X(index)

[haruki]

And how do I declare it with a constant?

And how do I declare it with a constant?

'form level
Private Const MYINDEX = Whatever
'event level
Const MYINDEX = Whatever

dim i(5) as long

Hm.. So if I want to use this for example how do I need to declare?

For i = 1 to 10
Tile(i) = LoadGraphicDC(App.Path & "\tile" & i & ".bmp")
Next i

[THEROB]

Dim Tile(10) as long

[haruki]

UH?

I dont understand, give me the whole idea. How do I need to declare from scratch to get that to work.

[THEROB]

Dim Tile(10) As Long
    Dim i As Long
    
    For i = 1 To 10
        Tile(i) = LoadGraphicDC(App.Path & "\tile" & i & ".bmp")
    Next i

[haruki]

and if i want to do

Tile(1) = "1adf234"
Tile(3) = "43adfadf"

Why add 10? like you did "dim Tile(10)"?

[THEROB]

I did Dim Tile(10) because you gave your example of having i = from 1 to 10.

The statement Dim Tile(10) as long, creates an array with elements from 0 to 10. If you only need 3 items use Dim Tile(3) as long.

You only need to declare the array to be the size you need.

Clear??
