Well, let's see. SourceDictionary.Value returns a Variant. Variant
does not
have an AbsolutePath property. So this will not compile. Instead you
need to
do something like the following.
dim f as FolderItem = SourceDictionary.Value(SourceDictionary.Key(j))
//if the stored value is not a FolderItem, REALbasic will raise an
IllegalCastException
DoSomethingWith f.AbsolutePath
or you could just do
FolderItem(SourceDictionary.Value(SourceDictionary.Key(j)).ObjectValue
).
AbsolutePath

Wow... Thanks :)
I' still not sure how I would use this to send the folderitem to a
function.
For example, previously I use:
SourceList.Cell(SourceList.LastIndex,2)=getPermissions(itemInFolder)
Where getPermissions calls the function and itemInFolder is the
folderItem.
When I try:
Dim f as folderitem
f=SourceDictionary.Value(SourceDictionary.Key(j))
TargetList.Cell(TargetList.LastIndex,2)=getPermissions(f)
I get a Type Mismatch at the second line.
The question you should now ask is "why?". TargetList.Cell is a String
property. A type mismatch means that getPermissions is probably not
returning a String.
