Combining an array and type

Seb McClouth · Post by **Seb McClouth** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 2:48 pm

I was wondering sumfin. If it would be possible to do the following:

TYPE PARAM
     POS as integer
     MODE as integer
     LINES as integer
END TYPE

DIM SHARED PARAME(50) as PARAM

PARAME(1).POS = 1
PARAME(2).POS = 4

I don't have QB at hand so... if you plz...

Yes.

Also, array index start at 0, learn to use it.

Alrighties... I know it starts at 0 but it's so much easier to use 1 to 50 then 0 to 49, I just hate (read: dislike) the fact using the line command in whatever screen mode you have to say line (0,0)-(639,479) instead of Line (1,1)-(640,480), if you get what I mean.

But anywayz, thx!!!

well, then you can define it like this and not waste memory:
Dim Shared Parame(1 to 50) as PARAM
that way it starts at one and contains 50 elements
