Hi Jon,
Yes I see that, but that doesn't explain why its use should be limited
to modules.
The use isn't limited to modules. The declarations of them are,
currently. However, this is a limit that will most likely be lifted in
the future.
Unless I'd create an array of Structures (is that even possible?)
Yes, it's possible, as it is with any other REALbasic data type.
I likely won't be able to use it for multiuser projects. Wait, I
wouldn't use an array either. I'd create a separate Structure class
and basically create what I hoped RS would do for RB2006.
Nah, I wouldn't really do that. Too much work, and chances are my
implementation would be flawed, so it's too risky to attempt that
route in projects that could use the power of Structures. I'd most
likely get by without using Structures at all. ;-)
That's what most people will do -- they're mainly useful for declares.
In almost all other cases, classes will do the job just fine, more
quickly, and with less bugs (because of the inherent byref/byval
difference of structures and classes).
HTH,
Jon
