Handling multiple windows and controls using arrays example.


Recommended Posts

I figured out how a way to control multiple windows and controls using arrays.

Just though I would post this small example for others to build on.

One point is it's best to use Local or Global deceleration instead of Dim. I read this on the Forum!

Off Topic: Agreed. This is more of an "Example Script".

On Topic: Why are you tying all of your arrays to the size of a single variable? This would only be viable in a few, niche applications, such as making a "Form Letter" style of Program UI.

He doesn't have enough posts to post in Example Scripts. The thread could get moved later.

Yea, well, I guess its either this, or meaningless "FREAKING FANTASTICALLY AWESOME!" posts.
