Hi all

have a question regarding arrays.

I am in a specific situation and this requires a specific solution.

I am re-creating a grid and would like to hold controls in an array.

Therefore, the array has columns of textbox, checkbox (all pre-defined) and has rows of integer.

Have played around with this and the best solution is as follows:

Code:
Public Class Test_Array
  Public m_items As new ArrayList
End Class

Code:
Dim aa(3) As Test_Array
aa(0) = New Test_Array
For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
   aa(0).m_items.Add(ctrl)
Next

This works OK and is a simple example. But what I want to do is add the controls into the sub array by the following method:

Code:
aa(0).m_items(3).Add(ctrl)

But this does not work. Is there any way around this or another method I could use?

Thanks

What you've written works fine, assuming you've declared ctrl as a Control in the 2nd and 3rd parts of your code.

What error are you getting exactly?


There's a thin line between genius, and insanity!
 

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry, got it all working fine now.

Thanks anyway.
