Making an array Public

[Cableguy]

Hi

My question is simple, but I just can't find the answer...

I need to make an arry public so that I can use it from another module...

I've tried a few variations on the declaration but no result but error...

[Zenerdiode]

In the Globals Sub of the Main module, does it work to change the 'Dim' to 'Public'?

[Cableguy]

I did not tryed that as the lack of the dim keywor meake the array not to be created...
I got a workaround working...... I added an ArrayList Control, and as controls are always public, I can now access it...

But the question is still valid...

Hi Paulo,
You can declare the array in the Sub Globals of any module like:

<font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#0000ff"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#0000ff"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#0000ff">Sub </font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2">Globals</font></font>
</font></font><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#008000"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#008000"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#008000">'Declare the global variables here.</font></font></font>
</font></font></font></font></font></font><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#0000ff"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#0000ff"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#0000ff">Public</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"> TextG(</font></font></font></font><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#800080"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#800080"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font color="#800080">30</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font><font face="Courier New"><font size="2"><font face="Courier New"><font size="2">)</font></font></font></font>

In the same module where the array is declared you can use the array like TextG(12).
Outsides the module you must use ModuleName.TextG(12)

Best regards.

Hi klaus

I did try that and it didn't work....Have you actually tryed it?

[agraham]

It has always worked for me. You are doing as Klaus said aren't you?

Outsides the module you must use ModuleName.TextG(12)

Ho Paulo,

For shure I am using it. You can have a look in this program: http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/share...tructures.html

Public TextG(30) is defined in the Setup Module.

and is used in other modules like: Setup.TextG(12)

Could you post your code so we can look at it and see what is wrong or strange.

Attached a small example program.

Best regards.

Thanks Klaus and Andrew, I trust you findings...But as i posted before, I managed to workaround in a somewhat more pratical way using the AddArrayList keyword.
