Hi Dave,
I have a form call frmpoship and call with
DO FORM frmpoship WITH laDates, ...
in the form INIT is:
PARAMETERS aShipdates,....
DIMENSION thisform.aShip[8,9]
DIMENSION thisform.aShip2[8,9]
ACOPY(aShipdates,thisform.aShip)
* make second copy to see if anything has changed
ACOPY(aShipdates,thisform.aShip2)
The array size is fixed but the acopy should size it anyway.
aShip is already set up in the form under form/edit property/method, so
I don't need to add it. It might be this bit that is tripping you up.
When you have your class open click on class edit property/method and it
should be at the end of the list, like myarray[1,0]
Presume you just use this.aShip[8,9] etc instead of thisform
Also at the end (closing the modal form) I just hide the form and check
the values of the array before releasing it.

Peter,
That is fine but it is getting the external array to be recognised within the
class that is the problem. Once I can do that then the aCopy() will work fine.
You have said that in one of your forms you pass an array. What do you pass it
to, I want to pass it to a visually developed class where I can then copy it to
an array owned by the class and manipulate it accordingly.
I am just going around in circles here at the moment and beginning to think
that I have missed something really basic.

Dave,
When working in a class don't you use this.aArray ?
Just checked one of my forms and I pass an array and then use ACOPY like Tracy
suggested.
I would also set up the array in the class before it is run so you don't have
to addproperty etc.

Tracy,
Not of help as you can't Acopy() inside the object because:
1. if you want to aCopy the Thisform.aArray it doesn't recognise the Thisform
part of the statement.
2. If you do the aCopy before you do the assign to the Object Property then you
are in the same situation as when you started because the copied array gets
sent in as only the first element once again and cannot be passed in with the @
sign as the destination is a property and not a UDF.
Racking my brains here to think out a solution or even a work around!!
I use objects to pass parameters into a udf() or Screen etc. many times but
this is the first time I have wanted to pass an array.
I am now examining using a collection as opposed to an array but to be honest I
don't really want to go that way, but if all else fails...

ACopy() comes to mind.

I have a class that needs to be sent an array from the calling program.
What I want to do is ideally pass the array in as a property and use
the property _"Assign" method to process the array internally. I have
tried passing the
Thisform.AddProperty("aArray[2,2]", null)
Thisform.aArray[1,1]= "Item 1"
Thisform.aArray[1,1]= "Item 1,2"
...
Class.Property=Thisform.aArray
The above coding only results in the first element being passed ....
as in what is done to a UDF and I have tried passing it with an @
sign (as you would with a UDF) at the front but this gives a syntax
error so no go there. I have also tried calling the Property_Assign
method direct but using the array with a leading @ sign but the
mainline doesn't have visibility of the _Assign method so no go there.
Short of setting up a new Receive_Array() method on the object and
passing in the array with an @ sign I can't seem to come up with an
alternative solution and I haven't tested out that you can even do
this as of yet.
Any ideas guys?
Dave
