Problem with a simple list

[Ricky D]

I have this code

'Activity module
Sub Process_Globals
   'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
   'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Globals
   'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
   'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
   
   Type typeAddMenuItem(Id As Int, MenuItem As String)
   Dim AddMenuItems As List : AddMenuItems.Initialize 
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Activity.LoadLayout("Main")
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Sub bDoit_Click
   Dim ami As typeAddMenuItem
   ami.Initialize
   
   ami.Id = 4
   ami.MenuItem = "City"
   AddMenuItems.Add(ami)
   
   ami.Initialize
   ami.Id = 3
   ami.MenuItem = "Woolloongabba"
   AddMenuItems.Add(ami)
   
   ami.Initialize 
   ami.Id = 2
   ami.MenuItem = "Camp Hill"
   AddMenuItems.Add(ami)
   
   Msgbox("Done", "")
End Sub

when I pause the program at the msgbox all items in my list are set to the last entry - 2, Camp Hill

why is this?

If I create 3 different ami variables it will work.

This is puzzling.

Try to add Dim ami As typeAddMenuItem before each ami.Initialize.

Best regards.

Thanks Klaus, dimming it before each initialization works but why does the list do what it does I wonder.

Because Initialize only resets the object field. It doesn't create a new object.
