B4J Question [b4j] new data type

[jinyistudio]

Hi

I define a data type as :

Type thdfunction(name As String,param() As Object)

when i use it as :

Public Sub Assigned(fnName As String,fnParam() As Object)
    Dim obj As thdfunction   
    obj.name =fnName
    obj.param = fnParam   
End Sub

But I found it has Initialize and Initialized too. Could i use them(Initialize and Initialized) in program ?

Usually you should initialize the object; I don't remember why, but you could set the values of members even if you do not initialize the object, but, anyway, it is a bad practice.

The property IsInitialized is useful to know (to check) if the object has already been initialized, after its declaration.


I suppose that your Assigned routine (which name should be Assignment, I think) is only an example, because I cannot understand its purpose, as it is.

Then it will probably not work.
You are dimming a new Objectinstance but you are not returning it from the sub. So the variable will be discarded at the end of the sub.

Public Sub Assign(fnName As String,fnParam() As Object) As thdfunction
    Dim obj As thdfunction  
    obj.initialize
    obj.name =fnName
    obj.param = fnParam  
    return obj
End Sub
