vba replace arraylist code with array code example
Example: excel vba arraylist
'VBA does not include a native ArrayList memory structure.
'However, VBA can create and use a .NET ArrayList:
Set ArrayList = CreateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList")
ArrayList.Add "World"
ArrayList.Add "Hello "
ArrayList.Sort
MsgBox ArrayList(0) & ArrayList(1) '<--displays: Hello World
'Notes: Since this calls .NET, an ArrayList is slower than a VBA array.
' The most compelling reason to use an ArrayList is the built-in
' Sort method. VBA arrays do not have a built-in sort capability.
' Neither do collections or dictionaries. But, the .NET ArrayList
' does.
'
' The .NET ArrayList also includes a 'ToArray' method:
vArr = ArrayList.ToArray
' This will create a normal 1D VBA array with a lowerbound of zero
' where the elements coincide with the items in the ArrayList.
' The .NET ArrayList has many properties and methods:
