Handle on handles?

[turbov21]

Is it possible to create handles like we create variables? I'm trying to, I guess, create classes, use the handle as a kind of namespace...

Have a file, "HELLO.BAS"...

hello$ = "Hi, hi!"
bye$ = "Bye, bye!"

Then summon that...

run "hello", #hi
print #hi hello$

That's kind of a basic example of what I'm thinking, and if I could create #hi just by declaring it like I would hi$, that'd be even better. Is this possible?

Handles are just variables. They aren't namespaces or classes.

Try adding a function to the hello.bas program called print() and then call it like so:
#hi print(hello$)
The function would just do this:
function print(a$)
 print a$
end function

I guess I'm not understanding.
I have and array of 30 items in a DB called "a$" of 2 bytes each.
I want to allow a maintenance screen to change any of them.

I tried these 2 and a few others.
for i = 1 to 30
textbox #a(i), a$
#a(i) setid("len2")
textbox #a;i, a$
#a;i setid("len2")
next i

can't get either to work.
So how do I handle textbox arrays???

Thanks for the help.

cssid #len2, "{width:20px}"
for i = 1 to 30
hVar$="#a";i
textbox #hVar$, a$
#hVar$ setid("len2")
#hVar$ text(i)
if i mod 5=0 then print
next i


Maybe this is what you are trying to achieve, using handle variables?
