[RESOLVED] Clear a privat type variable.

[reacen]

Hi,

Anyone knows how to clear a privat type variable?

Example:

'//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?

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? )

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
