At least, I *think*. You don't think enough, and prove of it is that
more often than not you write two messages instead of one. You start to
write too early.
You are not really catching the point. I am writing these things because
I believe that it could help Benoit in some way - he expressed some
doubt about wanting to have the count of both total elements and just
children. If it was only for you, I had stop before. But we are on the
way... if you want to get angry read on.

I can speak about things I never tried because I *think*. Moreover, I
didn't ask you to solve. I was "reporting", "arguing", "thinking", not
"asking". Ok?
Anyway, I just tried - it doesn't work. If you read my previous mail, I
wrote "I wonder if....". I was right - In fact, it does not work. This
is first a problem of documentation, which lets you think you can make
typed arrays, but this is not always true.
Second problem, the impossibility to make typed arrays is a limitation.
You don't see it as a limitation because you are limited yourself - too
lazy to think, may be, and I don't want to say you have limited
experience or you are stupid.

When you will be able to explain why "it is not consistent", you will
discover *you* are in error. But I doubt you can afford. It seems that
you give importance to superficial things, without forcing your mind to
go beyond comfortable and limited schemes. Before trying to argue with
me, read some documentation about the plethora of other programming
languages. Only then our discussions will elevate to a better degree.
While I am writing, I notice you have already answered. You can not even
wait some minutes to reply.
Ok, this is the reply to your just arrived message:

It is me, now, who is getting stunned. Are these two expressions different?
1. tv["Tree1"].Count
2. tv["Tree1"].Children.Count
No? Then you are very confused.
Yes? Then they return two different results.
I repeat, Tree1 is the treeview itself. I called it tree1, and you
called it tv. tv["tree1"] does not exist. I simply repeated your names
to stress on the difference between ".Count" and ".Children.Count".
Anyway, you insist on this not-so-beautiful syntax of using strings
inside square brackets (I will not loose time explaining the drawbacks
of it), so I used it too in an attempt to speed up things.
I am asking myself whether there is some sense in continuing this
discussion. It depends on your next message. If I get convinced you are
really interested in exchanging opinions, and contribute to gambas and
its users, ok. If I get convinced that you only like to piss off other
persons, I will not reply. May be that I am wrong, but I have already
showed enough patience.
Regards.
