[Gambas-user] Empty string sets controls and collections members to null Question

[richard terry]

This question is really around how to set a collection member to an empty 
string without destroying it.


I've noticed (forever) that this code

textbox1 = "" when one accidentally forgot to write 

textbox1.text ="", actually sets the control to null.

But I've also I just noticed this:


Lets say you have a collection

dim aCollection  as new collection

aCollection!value = "hi there"  

is a valid statement

aCollection.Remove("value") -  removes the item

aCollecton!value = ""  actually works like  aCollection.Remove("value")

which is sort of inconvenient if you want the collection member to be an empty 
string

Am I wrong ?any suggestions/observations.
