Count (Property)

In french: Occurrence

Warning
From version 24, Occurrence is kept for backward compatibility. This property has been replaced with Count.

The Count property returns the number of elements in a given set. You can get:

the number of rows in a List Box or Combo Box control.
the number of rows in a Table control. If there is a filter on a column, the Count property returns the number of elements displayed.
the number of rows in a Looper control.
the number of elements in a ListView control.
the number of rows in a Table control column.
the number of options in a Radio Button or Check Box control.
the number of controls in a group of controls.
the number of elements in a TreeView control.
the number of series in a Chart control.
the number of elements in an array, associative array or advanced array (arrays used in the gglxxx variables for example) as well as the number of occurrences for an element of the associative array.
the number of elements in a WLanguage queue, list or stack.
the number of indexed subelements in a variant.
the number of panes in a Tab control.
the number of files in an Upload control.
the number of options in a menu.
the number of elements in an Organization Chart control.

The Count property returns:

the number of rows in a List Box, Table, TreeView Table, Looper, Linear Looper, Tab or Combo Box control.
the number of elements in an array or associative array as well as the number of occurrences for an element of the associative array.
New in version 2025
the number of elements in a WLanguage queue or stack.

Remark: The Occurrence property can be used interchangeably on a Table, List, RepeatString or File Combo field and on a Table, List, RepeatString or File Combo field by programming.

Example

// Number of elements found in the "TABLE_CustomerTable" control
ResCount = TABLE_CustomerTable.Count

// Number of elements in CustomerArray
CustomerArray is dynamic array
CustomerArray = new dynamic array of 4 by 7 int
Trace("Number of elements: " + TableauClient.Occurrence)

Remarks

Table control based on a data file with bouncing scrollbar

In a Table control based on a data file with a continuous scrollbar, the Count property returns the number of rows displayed in the Table control and not the number of records in the associated data file.

Array and associative array

The Count property is used to:

Find out the number of elements in an array or in an associative array.
Example:

// Associative array of integers 
// indexed on strings and with duplicates
aaIDPerCustomer is associative array of int
// Add the identifier of customer "A"
aaIDPerCustomer["A"] = 55
// Add the identifier of customer "B"
aaIDPerCustomer["B"] = 321
// Add the identifier of customer "A"
aaIDPerCustomer["A"] = 56

Trace("Nb elements : " + taIDParClient.Occurrence)
// Displays 2 (ignores the duplicates)

Finding out the number of occurrences for an element in an associative array. This property is very useful for an associative array with duplicates.
Example:

// Associative array of integers 
// indexed on strings and with duplicates
aaIDPerCustomer is associative array of int
// Add the identifier of customer "A"
aaIDPerCustomer["A"] = 55
// Add the identifier of customer "B"
aaIDPerCustomer["B"] = 321
// Add the identifier of customer "A"
aaIDPerCustomer["A"] = 56

Trace("Nb elements : " + taIDParClient["A"].Count)
// Displays 1
