TIP: All About Arrays

Classic Servoy

Add all your array tips to this thread!

(1) Make an array out of a field that is a checkbox:

var myArray = check_field_name.split('\n');

A field that is a check box puts a new line character (\n) between each value in the field.

(2) Determine number of array items:

var myArrayLength = myArray.length;

(3) Array elements start numbering from zero. To access an array element:

var myArrayItem1 = myArray[0];

(4) To loop through the elements of an array:

for ( var i = 0 ; i < myArray.length ; i++ )
{
	application.output(myArray[i]);
}

(5) To load a value list with an array:

application.setValueListItems('valueListName', myArray);

“valueListName” needs to already be created as a custom value list.
