Hi John

I use a real simple custom class that has one property, an array. I use this mostly for passing parameters to forms. When I create the class, I pass one parameter which is the number of dimensions for the array. I can then pass the object around (and they array with it!) without having to worrry of handling arrays.

ox = createobject("FormParms", 5)
ox.acdata[1] = 'Parameter 1'
...etc.

*-- usually a modal form getting input
DO FORM GetInput WITH ox


DEFINE CLASS FormParms AS CUSTOM

*-- Custom properties
DIMENSION acdata(1)

PROCEDURE INIT
LPARAMETER ncnt

IF TYPE("ncnt") != "N"
RETURN
ENDIF

DIMENSION this.acdata[ncnt]
RETURN

ENDDEFINE
