Why there is difference depending on the declaration place?

[Penko]

Hello!

Why is there difference when I declare this way:

Dim theList as List :theList.Initialize

For i = 0 To thedata.Size - 1

       
        Dim thisTest As Tests
      thisTest = thedata.Get(i)

theList.Add(thisTest)

Next

versus:

Dim thisTest as Tests

above the For loop?

I also tried thisTest.Initialize at the beginning of the loop but it didn't help either.

With the faulty snippet I get basically 4 identical items !?

Dim thisTests as Tests

will create a new object.
Otherwise you are assigning the value to a previous reference (as it is not recreated).

I've persuaded myself I should Dim the object inside the For loop. How I detected it - the Click() event on the panels always highlighted the last panel. That's pretty unusual and made me integrate all variables inside the For loop.

Yes, I had the same problem and kickaha answered me in this same forum

I've read his topic but this one is hidden in a word or two and hasn't attracted my attention.

Thank you for your help!
