This may be a stupid question but...
How do i declare a multidimensional array in a struct?

Something like putting a line like this:

Code: Select all

Dim a.w(10,10)

into:

Code: Select all

Structure whatever  a.w[10] ;This a.w[10][10] nor this a.w[10,10] compiles
EndStructure

The compiler doesn't mind putting the Dim line into the struct but accessing it afterwards....impossible.

I don't think that is possible (the Docs only talk about singledimensional arrays inside
Structures.

But you could do it like this:

Code: Select all

Structure array
  b.w[10]
EndStructure

Structure whatever
  a.array[10]
EndStructure

var.whatever
var\a[1]\b[5] = 1   ; instead of var\a[1,5] which doesn't work

Hope this helps...

Well....It was a solution like that i wanted to avoid.

Thank you anyway.

Have to do it in another way then...i hope the language supports double pointers. Have to hit the reference manual once again.
