Function Names
dim protect, redim protectDescription
These two functions work similarly like dim() and redim(), but will also apply protection settings on all member variables. It may be useful to choose protection setting limited access in order to avoid accidental type changes on the array members. No impact on protection settings on already existing array members with the redim protect function. Here only the new members will be applied with the new protection setting.
