Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
class Data Types MBS DataTypes Plugin 8.2 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes All
An alternative dictionary class for an ordered map with variants as keys and values.
Example
dim s as new VariantToVariantOrderedMapMBS

s.Value("Test")="Hello"
s.Value("test")="World"

MsgBox str(s.Count) // shows 2

s.Value(ConvertEncoding("test",encodings.UTF16))="Just a"
s.Value(ConvertEncoding("Test",encodings.UTF16))="test"

MsgBox str(s.Count) // shows 4

Think of this class like the reimplementation for dictionary class with being case sensitive and with storing items ordered.

When using variants for keys, you may get better results if all keys used have the same data type to improve comparison.
All text comparison is done either case sensitive or insensitive. Defined in constructor.
You can choose whether you want to keep the map ordered using the OrderedMap class or whether you prefer a higher speed with the HashMap class.

This class has no sub classes.
