Bounds Tab

The Bounds tab is visible only for array properties, and contains the following options:

• Dimensions String —A string that describes the array dimensions.
• Number of Dimensions —The number of dimensions in the array. The maximum number of dimensions is 16.
• Empty —Specifies that the array has no elements when you start execution. When you enable this option, the Upper Bounds control for each dimension dims. Enable this option when you do not know the maximum array size the sequence requires during execution or when you want to save memory during the periods of execution when the sequence does not use the array.
• Lower Bounds and Upper Bounds —Sets the minimum and maximum index for each dimension. For example, you can define one dimension as zero-based and another dimension as one-based. The Upper Bounds setting must be equal to or greater than the Lower Bounds setting for the same dimension. You can calculate the number of elements in each dimension according to the following formula:

  Upper Bounds - Lower Bounds + 1

  Note The number of controls that appear next to the Lower Bounds and Upper Bounds options varies according to the setting of the Number of Dimensions control.
