Type Statement

Define non-UNO data structures.

A Type structure is an ordered collection of data fields, that can be manipulated as a single item.

Type statement diagram Type struct_name DataField1 As TypeName1 DataField2 As TypeName2 (...) End Type ' struct_name

Extended types such as Type statement structures, UNO objects or ClassModule objects are valid typenames.

A Type structure scope is that of the module it belongs to.

Type Customer Name1 As String City As String End Type ' Customer structure Sub setCustomer Dim oCustomer as New Customer oCustomer.Name1 = "The Document Foundation" oCustomer.City = "Berlin" End Sub Enumerations can be created using Type statement definitions. Calling Python Scripts from Basic illustrates that mechanism.
