How to use a variable to initialize an array of String?

  • 772

I want to initialize a arrayde Stringwith a size taken from a variable, but it gives me the error:

Illegal array bound for: denominations

This is the code:

Dim size As Integer
size =  vista.EntryCount 'return Integer'
Dim denominaciones( size ) As String

If instead of putting the variable sizeI put a numerical value how it 100works. 

Dim denominaciones( 100 ) As String

I have tried putting: 

Dim denominaciones( 1 to size) As String

But nothing...

I have also tried to initialize the arrayand then resize it with Redimbut neither.

How can I put a variable as size for the array?

array

    With Redimif it works, at least with this example that I just made. One thing to keep in mind is that array declarations cannot be done dynamically, they need a literal connotation (string, integer, variant, etc.).

    That is, we can declare the array without a limit (although it has a limit) and then resize it.

    I put the example that I just did and that works perfectly.

    Dim vector As Integer

vector = 10

Dim array() As Variant

Redim array(vector)

array(0) = "Hola Mundo"

Msgbox array(0)
