Hi,

I was wondering if there was any impact on the efficiency of code (either
positive or negative) when using With .... End statements? I also heard that
the use of the keyword caused memory leaks in VB6, is this true??

Thanks,

Jon
 
Hi Jon,

'With' is a shorthand for creating and using a temporary reference
variable The more complex the expression in the With, the better the outcome
in both readability and efficiency.

In VB Classic, the 'With...End With' block didn't cause memory leaks
when used properly.
 
Hi Herfried,

How do you 'mis-use' a With - jumping out of it perhaps?

ACK. There is a remark in the documentation that you whould not do that.
 
Hi Fergus,
I find it always the problem, if I do have to rearange code, when there is a
with in it, I don't like it, I think it is a matter of taste.

Howdy Cor,

I agree. When they first came out I thought they were a great idea, then
the lack of a variable, the extra indentation, and extra editing that was
often necessary when doing code rearrangent, like you said, made me discard
them for the most part.

Fergus
