Quick question for anyone who can help.

In using User Defined Types is it possible to use arrays within the type, within the type. Here is a few examples of what I mean.


topLevel(100).nextLevel(50).thirdLevel(10)

or

topLevel.nextlevel(50).thirdLevel

or

topLevel.nextlevel.thirdLevel(10)

and so on....

It seems that no matter which way I try and set it up using Dim's and what not I just cannot get it to compile.
UDT's work out very well in VB and it would make my code in DBP allot cleaner.

If i'm not clear on what i'm asking please let me know.

Arrays are currently unsupported inside of types.

Types don't allows Arrays within them (yet)

i think the problem is more they don't have an open declaration - because if you did
type MyType
person as Array()
endtype

then it'd pointer to the function
and if you did

type MyType
person as Array(255)
endtype

it'd pointer to the Array positioned data (ie whatever type the array has)
i still vote to change arrays to
dim Array[] as in C|C++ style and it would solve confusion, but if the function setup is anything to go by they can't ... however maybe {} would work

Thanks for the info.
Hopefully in a future patch they will be supported.
