URGENT: Class Members

Hi All,

If I have a class made up of say the following properties

FirstName
MiddleName
Surname
Age

and I wanted to itinerate through the class and obtain
1. the name of the property,
2. its return type (ie string, boolean and so on) and
3. its value

I was thinking along the lines of something similar to a For Each type thing, how would I do that ?

you need to use collection

i.e
Dim a As New Collection
Private Sub Command1_Click()

Dim i As Long
Dim c As Class1
For i = 0 To 10
Set c = New Class1
c.Age = i + 10
a.Add c
Next

For Each c In a
Debug.Print c.Age
Next
End Sub

where class1 is

Option Explicit

Public FirstName
Public MiddleName
Public Surname
Public Age

I think you may have missed my query ....

using your class

I am trying to do the following

for each p in me.class1
debug.print p.name
debug.print p.typedef
debug.print p.value
next p

I dont even know if this can be done, but I would like to see if and how it can be done.

I like the way you use a collection to hold a class of info ....

what version of VB are you using? If VB 6 then what you are asking is not possible. With VB.NET, you might be bale to achieve this using Reflection.
