ImportList Statement Summary

ImportList is a nonterminal, utility statement that occurs only in ImportsGlobal scripts. It specifies the identifier of an external library whose components have been referenced by a group of code units. It contains a series of Referenced substatements which list the individual components within the external that were referenced. ImportsGlobal scripts are authored by gmBasic. Rather than authoring any local stubs with the translated codes gmBasic can instead manage an ImportsGlobal_(%= langid %).xml file which maintains a list of all referenced components in all imported references. See the Select attribute ImportsGlobal for a discussion of the process used to author these scripts.

The attributes of the ImportList statement are as follows:

Attribute	Description
Id	This attribute simply identifies the external library that has been referenced by the code units. It is a local filename like mso.dll or msword9.olb or mscomctl.ocx or msado20.tlb.

The substatements of the ImportList statement are as follows:

Substatement	Description
Referenced	This substatement specifies a particular component within the external that was referenced along with some information about that reference.

Referenced ImportList Substatement Summary

Referenced is a terminal substatement of the ImportList statement. It specifies a particular component within the external identifier in the ImportList that was referenced along with some information about that reference.

The attributes of the Referenced substatement are as follows:

Attribute	Description
Id	This attribute is a qualified identifier, relative to the external library, of a component that was referenced and should be authored in the within the Global Stub.
Implemented	This attribute is a flag whose On entry indicates that the component is part of an implemented interface.
Activex	This attribute is a flag attributable to CoClasses whose On entry indicates the CoClass is a ActiveX control.
Hasforeach	This attribute is a flag attributable to classes and coclasses whose On entry indicates that the component is used in ForEach and must, therefore, implement IEnumerable.
Constructor	This attribute is a flag attributable to event handlers whose On entry indicates that they are being called directly within the code; therefore, their wrapper event arguments class requires a constructor.
Colobject	This attribute is a flag attributable to the library whose On entry indicates that a reference component has a collection type; therefore, the library stub must import VBNET = Microsoft.VisualBasictype.
Eventargs	This attribute is a flag attributable to event handlers whose On entry indicates that they have arguments.
