Complex data type 2

[DannC]

hi folks !
Does anybody know if Vfp 6.0 can support complex type of data such as struct
myDatatype {
type1:String;
type2: Integer
}
and if Yes can this struct be used like this

myBoundData: myDataType

Thank's

Hi
Unfortunately, VFP doesn’t support this type of user defined data structure or the concept of structure itself. Sorry for that. Walid Magd

No, not explicitly. Have you tried looking at Christof Lange's code? Try on the UT (

- In Downloads search for "Structures", then pick "API-Structures in VFP" by Christof Lange.

Hi Rick
Thanks for correcting me, I thought Nefra asking if VFP natively support this data type or not.

For Nefra, as Rick kindly suggested, there are a lot of resources teaching how to play games to get VFP understand Structures, the most important use for this techniques when you have to call API form VFP and this API need a structure data type as parameter. But if you just want to use the structure data type to organize some related data in your program (Nothing to do with API), you can define class instead of structure and each instance of this class will work like structure for you.
Some thing like this..
Ox1=CtreateObject(“MyDataType”)
Ox2= CtreateObject(“MyDataType”)
*-- UserName, UserAdress are properties of your class.
Ox1.UserName=”AnyName1”
Ox1.UserAdress=”AnyAddress1”

Ox2.UserName=”AnyName2”
Ox2.UserAdress=”AnyAddress2”
