It isn't an array, but a set.  I believe the correct term for them is a
"set of enumerated types".  Basically, they are pre defined variables
that equate to something.  I don't know if it is integer (I would expect
so, but I never investigated it).  If you look up in the help files
about this method, it will explain all about them.

Well, like I said, I wouldn't consider myself and expert, but I do have
some practical experience with it, and I am still learning
(constantly...)

Well, working in windows can be challenging at times.   A couple things
to be careful of:  1 - make sure a component/form is created before
trying to do anything with it (sounds basic, but it is easier to forget
than you would think), 2 - Make sure you only free/destroy something
once (again, easier to do than you would think).  Either one of these
things will cause an exception or GPF, and they can be quite puzzling.
To your continued success!
