JavaScript tutorial:
dimensions method

 

Applies to: VBArray Object

The dimensions method returns the number of dimensions in a VBArray.

Syntax

array.dimensions( )

The array argument is a VBArray object.

Return

The dimensions method returns the number of dimensions in a VBArray.

Example

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 JavaScript code that determines the 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 JavaScript 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="JavaScript">

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

To run the code, paste it into JavaScript Editor, save as htm format and click the Show Internal View button.
