GAMBAS-BOOK 3.19.5

This class System (gb.eval) has only two (static) properties:

• Datatypes - Static Property Read Datatypes As String[]
• A string array stores all native data types of Gambas.

Public Sub btnGetDatatypes_Click()
 
  Dim aMatrixDataTypes As String[]
  Dim sElement As String
 
  TextArea.Clear
  aMatrixDataTypes = System.Datatypes
 
  For Each sElement In aMatrixDataTypes
      TextArea.Insert(sElement & gb.NewLine)
  Next
 
End

Result:

Boolean,Byte,Date,Single,Float,Integer,Long,Short,String,Variant,Object,Pointer

• Keywords → Static Property Read Keywords As String[]
• All reserved words are stored in a string array.

Public Sub btnGetKeywords_Click()
 
  Dim aMatrixKeywords As String[]
  Dim sElement As String
 
  TextArea.Clear
  aMatrixKeywords = System.Keywords
 
  For Each sElement In aMatrixKeywords
      TextArea.Insert(sElement & gb.NewLine)
  Next
 
End ' btnGetKeywords_Click()
