How to work with Collection in VB6?

suguimoto

Hello there! I'm working with VB6 ( X| argh! I have no option) and I have a small problem, My application has 6 forms and the main form posses 7 collections. And the whole operation needs to work with those 7 collections (adding, deleting, counting and so on) in any Form. My problem is: how to make those 7 collections Public or "Global"?:confused: Ps.: I could do it in VB.Net but the current DLL's does not support .Net Framework yet. Thanks in advance. With Regards, Suguimoto

Bummer. VB6 has been so dead for so long.

IIRC, make the stuff Public in a Module. But, IIRC, if you're thinking of doing this, you really need to rethink your data model/app design.

Actually I'm reading from a CSV file, putting into collections (like data base). I believe that working with collections is the best way, instead of reading the CSV file everytime that the app needs to fill a listview ou delete a value. At the moment I gave up on collections, and I'm reading the csv all the time. =/ Thanks anyway :)

Actually, I was referring to making everything "global"...

Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should do it...
