Can an array or variable have the same name as a string?


Recommended Posts

I have a combobox with a list of servers in it.  When I choose one, I would like to read information into an array.  When I choose another, I would like to read the info into a different array.  The simplest way I can think to do this is to have the array have the same name as the server,

Something like this...  

$ & Guictrlread($Combo)

_Arraydisplay($ & Guictrlread($Combo))

Is this possible?  Maybe theres a better way that I am missing?

you simple can use the combo index as your array index.

 

array[yourcomboindex]

Can you be more specific? What are you attempting to do with the information selected in the combobox? You're not very clear on your requirements.

 

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

you can do this:

array Server1[]

array Server2[]

array Server3[]

 

array of server array

array servers[Server1[],Server2[],Server3[]]

 

then access to every array by your combo index.

Sure. Brewman The idea here is to select the server from the combobox. Then a WMI Query happens, populating some needed information to an array. (this part I have done)

The point of my question is so that if I select a different server from the combo, a different array gets populated.  That way, if I go back and select the first server, I can simply display the info rather than having to scan for it again

That beast is a 2D array (or nested array if you prefer yo make it that way).
