[Gambas-user] Adding Classes to Collections... we can't do this?

[sbungay]

   OK, I'm coming from the VB 6.0 world and I know I know this is not 
VB... I have a question anyway about adding classes to collections. Um.. 
why can't we do this? So far al I can do is add each item in the class 
to the collection... but that is a royal pain in the butt. What I want 
to do is something like this.

'*********** BEGIN SAMPLE CODE ***************************************
'*** This does not work...
Dim MyCollection as New Collection

' The Class has two integer values in it.. X and Y (just for example)
Dim MyClass as XYClass

MyClass = new XYClass

With MyClass
      .X = 10
      .Y = 10
End With

MyCollection.Add(MyClass)

MyClass = NULL  ' Is this equiv. to the VB "Set MyClass = Nothing"


'*** This DOES work but is kludgy
Dim MyCollection as New Collection

' The Class has two integer values in it.. X and Y (just for example)
Dim MyClass as XYClass

MyClass = new XYClass

With MyClass
      .X = 10
      .Y = 10
End With

MyCollection.Add(MyClass.X, MyClass.Y)

MyClass = NULL  ' Is this equiv. to the VB "Set MyClass = Nothing"


'*********** END SAMPLE CODE ***************************************

   Now froma programming standpoint I like the first way better because 
I  simply add the created class to the collection. Wonderful, less 
typing for me.
   Does the problem stem from collection only being able to hold Variant 
types?
