Dynamic Arrays

[Anthony]

Robin, for one, is always talking about dynamic arrays and I was wondering if somebody could shed some light on it for me. I could probably Google it I guess but thought it would be easier if I got a Mirage example/explanation. Thanks.

Ummm...

Code:

DynamicArray() As DynamicArrayRec

Increase the array's size by 1:

Code:

ReDim Preserve DynamicArray(1 To UBound(DynamicArray) + 1)

Decrease by 1:

Code:

ReDim Preserve DynamicArray(1 To UBound(DynamicArray) - 1)

That's really confusing how VB6 arrays start from one and not zero =/

[Aaron]

VB6 arrays do start from zero. They only start from a different value if specified.

Yupp.

I prefer to start my arrays at 2.

[Robin]

I prefer to start my arrays at 2.

You also start lunch at 9am, finishing at 3pm.

Actually around 3pm is when I start, which is when I wake up, and normally end around midnight, where I pass out and repeat the process.

isn't dynamic arrays just Normal arrays being redimed AS a bigger variable?

EXAMPLE

ReDim Map.Tile(0 To Map.MaxX, 0 To Map.MaxY)

[GIAKEN]

Yeah.

ReDim clears out the whole array. ReDim Preserve doesn't clear the array out.
