Re: why doesn't this compile

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


Public Property Get foo() As String()
foo = foo1
End Property

Above, you are returning an array

Dim s As String
s = fooList(0).foo(0)

Above, foo return array, but s is just a string.

Also... your foo prperty takes no parameters, but in
the above snippet you are passing a 0 (zero) to foo.

Dim fooList(0 To 6) As Class1


Above you dim the array of classes, but where do you
"set fooList(0) = new Class1" it?

create a new class called Class1 with the following

Option Explicit
Private foo1() As String
Public Property Get foo() As String()
foo = foo1
End Property

this creates a class with a public property which is an array of strings, correct?

so why does this not compile?

Dim fooList(0 To 6) As Class1
Dim s As String
s = fooList(0).foo(0)

it gives "wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment"

whereas this works fine

Dim ss() As String
ss = fooList(0).foo
s = ss(0)

I'm mystified
