MegatenFreak Active Member Licensed User Nov 28, 2021 #1 Hi. I'm trying to clean up my code. One of the annoying things is that It is full of places where I initialize a large number (for example, 30) lists at once. Something like: Code: Copy Dim a, b, c, d as List a.Initialize b.Initialize c.Initialize d.Initialize I was wondering if there is a "cleaner" way to do this. I tried the following: Code: Copy For Each x As List in Array(a, b, c, d) x.Initialize Next It didn't work. The code runs, but I get an exception saying the lists are not initialized. Any ideas?

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 28, 2021 #2 This will work: Code: Copy For Each x As List in Array As List(a, b, c, d) However if you have multiple similar lists then you should probably switch to a single list with custom types. Upvote 0

Click to expand... Thanks. It worked perfectly. Actually, the lists hold information loaded from a database table. Each list holds the value of a specific column in all the records. I suppose it would have been a lot better if I had used custom types. Upvote 0
