Hello,

Noticed that there's a DynaDictionary class lurking in Jade 5 (5.0.15 & 5.0.16 at least).

Am I just behind the times down here in Dunedin and are all you others are busily using it?

I have used the dynaDictionary class in the AdvancedFaultApplication
Here is the code ...
=============================
// Create Dynamic Dictionary Object
create dynaDict;

// Indicate which class it is going to collect
dynaDict.setMembership (myClass);

// Add the keys in order and signify DESC or ASC
foreach row in 2 to tableKeys.rows do
dynaDict.addMemberKey (tableKeys.getCellText (row, 1), tableKeys.getCellText (row, 2).Integer.Boolean, false);
endforeach;

// Signal end of key definition and mention if Collection is allowed duplicates!
dynaDict.endKeys(true);

// copy objects into the dictionary
myClass.instances.copy (dynaDict);

// now iterate your way thru the dictionary =========================================

Simple stuff really....AJ
