Declarations Section

Compare Property

Get the current value of the Compare property. The Compare property specifies the type of comparisons used to determine if string Keys match. Set the current value of the Compare property.

Contract Property

Get the current value of the Contract property. The Contract property specifies whether the hash table should be automatically contracted when a fraction of its allocated space is used. Set the current value of the Contract property.

Count Property

Return the number of definitions (Key and Item pairs) currently stored in the hash table.

Item Property

Return the Item at a specific numeric position within the hash table. Assign a value to the Item at a specific numeric position within the hash table when Item is NOT an Object. Assign a value to the Item at a specific numeric position within the hash table when Item IS an Object.

Items Property

Return all of the Items in a one-dimensional Variant array with elements between 1 and Count.

Key Property

Return the Key at a specific numeric position within the hash table.

Keys Property

Return all of the Keys in a one-dimensional Variant array with elements between 1 and Count.

Keys And Items Property

Return all of the Keys and Items in a two-dimensional Variant array. The Keys are returned in element 0 of the 1st dimension, and the Items are returned in element 1 of the 1st dimension. The 2nd dimension is dimensioned between 1 and Count.

Name Property

Return the Name of this HashTable. The Name may be any type of data. Assign a Name to this HashTable when the Name is NOT an Object. Assign a Name to this HashTable when the Name IS an Object.

Tag Property

Return the Tag of this HashTable. The Tag may be any type of data. Assign a Tag to this HashTable when the Tag is NOT an Object. Assign a Tag to this HashTable when the Tag IS an Object.

Add Sub

Add a new definition (Key and Item pair) into the hash table, even if the Key is not unique.

Add From Hash Table Sub

Add all the Keys & Items from another hash table into the current one. The hash table vhtAdd is not modified in any way.

Add Or Update Function

Add a new definition (Key and Item pair) into the hash table or update an existing Key and Item pair. Inserting an Item with the same Key as another Item in the table causes the previous Item to be overwritten.

Exists Function

Return True if the Key exists within the hash table.

Lookup Function

Lookup and return the Item associated with a Key.

Remove Function

Remove a defintion (Key and Item pair) from the hash table.

Remove All Sub

Remove all of the definitions from the hash table.

Resize Sub

Resize an existing hash table so that it has the specified number of header and data buckets.

Update Function

Update the Item of the hash table definition identified by Key.

Class _ Initialize Sub

Initialize the hash table automatically when instances of this class are created.

Class _ Terminate Sub

Terminate the hash table automatically when instances of this class are destroyed.

Add Low Sub

Add Or Update Low Function
