GetArrayValue Method (IArguments)
Example 






SpreadsheetGear.CustomFunctions Namespace > IArguments Interface : GetArrayValue Method
Specifies the zero based index of the argument.
Specifies the zero based row index of the value to get.
Specifies the zero based column index of the value to get.
Returns the specified value.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Function GetArrayValue( _
   ByVal index As System.Integer, _
   ByVal row As System.Integer, _
   ByVal column As System.Integer _
) As IValue
'Usage
 
Dim instance As IArguments
Dim index As System.Integer
Dim row As System.Integer
Dim column As System.Integer
Dim value As IValue
 
value = instance.GetArrayValue(index, row, column)
IValue GetArrayValue( 
   System.int index,
   System.int row,
   System.int column
)
function GetArrayValue( 
    index: System.Integer;
    row: System.Integer;
    column: System.Integer
): IValue; 
function GetArrayValue( 
   index : System.int,
   row : System.int,
   column : System.int
) : IValue;
IValue* GetArrayValue( 
   System.int index,
   System.int row,
   System.int column
) 
IValue^ GetArrayValue( 
   System.int index,
   System.int row,
   System.int column
) 

Parameters

index
Specifies the zero based index of the argument.
row
Specifies the zero based row index of the value to get.
column
Specifies the zero based column index of the value to get.

Return Value

The specified range or array value.
Remarks
For single values, arguments.GetArrayValue(index, 0, 0) returns the same value as arguments[index].
