Registry Reading and Writing Made Simple, Part 1

The toVBArray method first empties the g_dict object, then populates it with key/value pairs. The keys contain the numeric array subscript numbers. (The keys in a Dictionary object must be unique.) The values contain the elements from the JScript array. The toVBArray method uses the Items method to return the g_dict object's items as a VBArray object.

dictToJSArray. The dictToJSArray method provides a JScript script the ability to convert a Dictionary object into a JScript array. The dictToJSArray method is useful when you're using the component's EnumKey, EnumValues, or EnumValuesAndData method in a JScript script because these methods all return a reference to a Dictionary object.

The dictToJSArray method uses the syntax

dictToJSArray(Dictionary)

where Dictionary is a Dictionary object.

The dictToJSArray method works by calling the g_dict object's Keys method, which returns a VBArray object. Using the toArray method, dictToJSArray converts this object into a JScript array and creates a new Array object to contain that array. Using JScript's for...in statement, the dictToJSArray method iterates through the JScript array, populating it with the key/value pairs. Finally, dictToJSArray returns the resulting JScript array. . . .
