Accessing an array returned from a function - sqadri - 03-27-2012

Hi,
Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. I have a function like that return an array. I can print the array elements if I declare the MyCtrl() as a global variable. But when I try to get the array contents in a function I get an error Type Mismatch at this line 'CtrlName = MyFunction' in the calling function.

Code:
Function MyFunction

Dim MyCtrl()

MyFunction = MyCtrl

End Function

'Now access the array from the above function

Function GetCtrl

Dim CtrlName()

CtrlName = MyFunction ' get Type Mismatch at this line

for i=0 To Ubound(CtrlName)

Print CtrlName(i)

End Function

Thanks,
Sqadri

Code:
Function MyFunction

 Dim MyCtrl(1)

 MyCtrl(0) = "First String"

MyCtrl(1) = "Second String"

MyFunction = MyCtrl

 End Function

'Now access the array from the above function

Code:
Dim CtrlName

 CtrlName = MyFunction ' get Type Mismatch at this line

 for i=0 To Ubound(CtrlName)

 MsgBox CtrlName(i)

next

Check the above code it is working. The variable that will receive the resulting array must be declared as dynamic
