User defined array class - Part II

Example of Array manipulation using a user defined array class. The code below is written on a button click event. Include the line below in the options event:

	Use "CLASS : Array"
	
	Sub Click(Source As Button)
	Dim Array As ArrayClass	
	Dim index As Integer
	
	Dim MyArray As Variant			
	Dim tmpArray( 2 )  As Variant
	tmpArray( 0 ) = "6"
	tmpArray( 1 ) = "7"
	tmpArray( 2 ) = "8"
	
	'-- Instantiate the Arrray object
	Set Array = New ArrayClass	
	MyArray = Array.Intialize( "0,1,2")
