Definition:
function VarArrayCreate(const Bounds: array of Integer; AVarType: TVarType): Variant;
Creates a variant array of specified dimensions and type. The result is stored in a Variant type.
Technical Comments[]
(Known issues / Documentation clarifications / Things to be aware of)
- The first parameter "Bounds" is an array of Integer. So you would call it [0, 9] to create a one dimensional array with 10 elements numbered 0 - 9. If the array has an even number of elements then you will get an EVariantArrayCreateError.
- The second parameter is the element type of the array. For example this could be vtString, vtVariant or vtInteger.
