Ubound not via pointer to struct!

[Edwin Knoppert]

I get an error on this.
it should be possible though..

Type My_Struct

    hIcon( 1 To 10 )        As Long

End Type

''''''''

Dim pMalloc     As My_Struct PTR

For a = Lbound( @pMalloc.hIcon() ) To Ubound( @pMalloc.hIcon() )

as far as I know you can't - arrays in TYPEs are not created the
same way as standard PB arrays - the PB array descriptor is not
present. If you know what type the array is you can find out
the number of elements as follows:

Type My_Struct
     hIcon( 0 TO 10 ) AS LONG
END Type
       
FUNCTION PBMAIN() AS LONG
   LOCAL tPtr AS My_Struct PTR
   LOCAL lDummy AS LONG
   
   MSGBOX "UBound is " + FORMAT$(SIZEOF(@tPtr) \ SIZEOF(lDummy))
   
   WAITKEY$
END FUNCTION

Why not use dynamic structures directly (make the type an array)?

Cheers

Basically (no pun intended), a UDT is defined at compile time so the effective lower and upper boundaries of an array within a UDT are *known* at compile time.

This is a perfect place to define these boundaries with numeric equates.

Maybe you are right Lance.
I consider constants..

Florent,
The hicon entry is just an entry for this example.
Other elements where discarded for this example.

I'll certainly try SIZEOF

Thanks,

"Array" was an unfortunate choice of words to use when PB added "tables" to UDTs.

None of the "ARRAY" verbs work on tables, though in the current releases of the compilers the compilers do not catch it at compile time.
