I have a simple question

take this

shapes(1).box1.pos.x

I want to change box1 in a for next, can it be done. The example below is just to show what I mean.


For n = 1 to 4
shapes(1).box+STR$(n).pos.x
NEXT

Making box member array of 4 seems the most straightforward way for me in this case :)

Like:


TYPE TXYZ
x AS DOUBLE
y AS DOUBLE
z AS DOUBLE
END TYPE

TYPE TTransform
pos AS TXYZ
END TYPE

TYPE TBoxStuff
box(4) AS TTransform
END TYPE

DIM shapes(4) as TBoxStuff
DIM n as long

%something = 1
For n as long = 1 to 4
shapes(1).box(n).pos.x = %something
NEXT


I think dynamic variable name evaluation ( like the one for function calls ) is not implemented.

Thanks Petr

I thought that this problem had come up before and Eros suggested something but it was a long time ago but it does matter if I use another array.

thanks again.
