is it possible to pass all elements of an array to a ParamArray?
For example I'd like to pass a ParamArray to another ParamArray:
Sub test()
p1 "test", "banane", "birne"
End Sub
Sub p1(ParamArray keys() As Variant)
p2 keys 'should be the same as: p2 "test", "banane", "birne"
End Sub
Sub p2(ParamArray keys() As Variant)
Dim key As Variant
For Each key In keys
Debug.Print key 'Run-time error '13' Type mismatch (key is an array)
Next key
End Sub
In this case ParamArray of p2
doesn't contain the elements of keys
, but it gets the array-object keys
. Thus I've got to check, if an arrays is passed:
Sub test()
p1 "test", "banane", "birne"
p2 "test", "banane", "birne"
End Sub
Sub p1(ParamArray keys() As Variant)
p2 keys
End Sub
Sub p2(ParamArray params() As Variant)
Dim keys As Variant
If IsArray(params(0)) Then
keys = params(0)
Else
keys = params
End If
Dim key As Variant
For Each key In keys
Debug.Print key
Next key
End Sub
But this is awkward for example compared to Java:
public class VarArgs {
public static void main(String[] args) {
p1("test", "banane", "birne");
p2("test", "banane", "birne");
String[] array = {"test", "banane", "birne"};
p1(array);
p2(array);
}
public static void p1(String... strings) {
p2(strings);
}
public static void p2(String... strings) {
for (String string : strings) {
System.out.println(string);
}
}
}
In Java I don't have to distinguish. But this is probably not possible in VBA.
Thanks for help,

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:
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
