[Gambas-user] static const?

[Jussi Lahtinen]

Generally bad code...
What that supposed to do?
Either it will return TabStrip3.Count or zero.

This would do exactly same thing:

PUBLIC FUNCTION ScanTab(IdCaption AS Integer) AS Integer

  FOR a = 0 TO TabStrip3.Count - 1
      IF TabStrip3[a].Caption = IdCaption THEN
         RETURN TabStrip3.Count
      ENDIF
  NEXT

END
