dimensions Method

  • Article

Returns the number of dimensions in a VBArray.

function dimensions() : Number

Remarks

The dimensions method provides a way to retrieve the number of dimensions in a specified VBArray.

The following example consists of three parts. The first part is VBScript code to create a Visual Basic safe array. The second part is JScript code that determines the number of dimensions in the safe array and the upper bound of each dimension. Both of these parts go into the <HEAD> section of an HTML page. The third part is the JScript code that goes in the <BODY> section to run the other two parts.

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
<!--
Function CreateVBArray()
   Dim i, j, k
   Dim a(2, 2)
   k = 1
   For i = 0 To 2
      For j = 0 To 2
         a(j, i) = k
         k = k + 1
      Next
   Next
   CreateVBArray = a
End Function
-->
</SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript">
<!--
function VBArrayTest(vba)
{
   var i;
   var a = new VBArray(vba);
   var s = "";
   for (i = 1; i <= a.dimensions(); i+)
   {
      s += "The upper bound of dimension ";
      s += i + " is ";
      s += a.ubound(i);
      s += ".<BR>";
   }
   return(s);
}
-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<SCRIPT language="jscript">
   document.write(VBArrayTest(CreateVBArray()));
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
