B4J Question Initializing many lists together, any convenient solutions?

[MegatenFreak]

Hi. I'm trying to clean up my code. One of the annoying things is that It is full of places where I initialize a large number (for example, 30) lists at once. Something like:

Dim a, b, c, d as List
a.Initialize
b.Initialize
c.Initialize
d.Initialize

I was wondering if there is a "cleaner" way to do this. I tried the following:

For Each x As List in Array(a, b, c, d)
    x.Initialize
Next

It didn't work. The code runs, but I get an exception saying the lists are not initialized.
Any ideas?

This will work:

For Each x As List in Array As List(a, b, c, d)

However if you have multiple similar lists then you should probably switch to a single list with custom types.

Thanks. It worked perfectly.
Actually, the lists hold information loaded from a database table. Each list holds the value of a specific column in all the records. I suppose it would have been a lot better if I had used custom types.
