yes a static array is not an object ... that's why it's a little bit
deprecated :)


anther way :

dim htmpArray as integer[]=  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
dim i as integer


For i = 0 to hTmparray.max
  aNumbers.add( htmpArray[i])
next


Stupid ... isn't it ?

the power of modern langage is to simplify the synthax with objects...
