Pass a ParamArray argument to another function that expects a ParamArray argument (delegate ParamArray arguments).
I need to delegate to a function of type: strf(str as string, ParamArray args() as Variant) as String
the arguments received in other function in a ParamArray passing directly without explicitly write.
The restrictions I’ve found are:
- A ParamArray() it can only be passed to another function that expects a ParamArray.
- The ParamArray is received at element 0 as a Variant ()
- When the second function receives it increases a level of depth
I have not found any satisfactory solution, but I have written a function that works perfectly, undoing the depth levels added and returning a vector with arguments received.
Code:
Option Explicit
Option Base 1
Public Sub PrAr1(ParamArray pa1() As Variant)
Dim arr() As Variant
arr = fn.ParamArrayDelegated(pa1)
PrAr2 pa1
End Sub
Public Sub PrAr2(ParamArray pa2() As Variant)
Dim i As Integer, arrPrms() As Variant
arrPrms = fn.ParamArrayDelegated(pa2)
For i = 0 To UBound(arrPrms)
Debug.Print s.strf("i: %0 prm: %1 ", i, arrPrms(i))
Next i
PrAr3 pa2
End Sub
Public Sub PrAr3(ParamArray pa3() As Variant)
Dim i As Integer, arrPrms() As Variant
arrPrms = fn.ParamArrayDelegated(pa3)
For i = 0 To UBound(arrPrms)
Debug.Print s.strf("i: %0 prm: %1 ", i, arrPrms(i))
Next i
End Sub
Public Function ParamArrayDelegated(ParamArray prms() As Variant) As Variant
Dim arrPrms() As Variant, arrWrk() As Variant
'When prms(0) is Array, supposed is delegated from another function
arrPrms = prms
Do While VarType(arrPrms(0)) >= vbArray And UBound(arrPrms) < 1
arrWrk = arrPrms(0)
arrPrms = arrWrk
Loop
ParamArrayDelegated = arrPrms
End Function
