MORE INFORMATION

Introducing the Dictionary Object

Visual Basic 6.0 includes a new Dictionary object that can be used instead of a Collection object or an Array. A Dictionary object is the equivalent of an associative array as used in PERL and other languages. The Dictionary object provides additional properties and methods that aren't available for Collections or Arrays.

The Dictionary object is contained in the Microsoft Scripting Runtime (Scrrun.dll) that ships with Visual Basic 6.0. You must add a reference to Scrrun.dll in order to use the Dictionary object in your project.

To learn more about the Dictionary object, search online, with Search titles only selected, for "Dictionary Object" in the MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0 documentation.
