Constructors

	Name	Description
	Constructor(genericType)	Initializes a new instance of the MfGenericList class.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Count	Gets a value indicating if the MfListBase number of Elements. Inherited from MfListBase
	IsFixedSize	Gets a value indicating if the MfListBase has a fixed size. Inherited from MfListBase
	IsReadOnly	Gets a value indicating if the MfListBase is read-only. Inherited from MfListBase
	Item[index]	Gets or sets the element at the specified index. Overrides MfListBase.Item.
	ListType	Gets a MfType instance representing the allowable types that can be added to this instance of MfGenericList.

Methods

	Name	Description
	_NewEnum()	Returns a new enumerator to enumerate this object's key-value pairs. This method is usually not called directly, but by the for-loop or by GetEnumerator(). Inherited from MfListBase
	Add(obj)	Adds an element to the end of the current instance. Overrides MfListBase.Add()
	AddAttribute()	Adds MfAttribute extended items to extended classes. Inherited from MfObject.
	Clear()	Removes all elements from the instance and sets Count to Zero. Inherited from MfListBase
	Clone()	Clones all the elements of the current instance an return a new instance. Overrides MfListBase.Clone().
	CompareTo()	Compares the current instance with another object of the same type and returns an integer that indicates whether the current instance precedes, follows, or occurs in the same position in the sort order as the other object. Inherited from MfObject.
	Contains()	Determines whether the MfGenericList contains a specific element. Overrides MfListBase.Contains()
	Equals(obj)	Compares obj to current instance to see if they are the same. Inherited from MfObject.
	GetAttribute(index)	Gets an MfAttribute of the class. Inherited from MfObject.
	GetAttributes()	Gets a MfGenericList of MfAttribute that Contains the attributes for the current class instance. Inherited from MfObject.
	GetEnumerator()	Gets an enumerator. Inherited from MfEnumerableBase
	IndexOf(obj)	Searches for the specified var and returns the index of the first occurrence within the entire instance. Overrides MfListBase.IndexOf()
	Insert(index, obj)	Inserts an element into the MfGenericList at the specified index. Overrides MfListBase.Insert()
	GetIndexOfAttribute(attrib)	Gets the zero-based index value of the position of MfAttribute within the instance of the class. Inherited from MfObject.
	GetType()	Gets the Type for the for the Class .Inherited from MfObject.
	HasAttribute(attrib)	Gets if the current instance of class derived from MfSystemException has MfAttribute. Inherited from MfObject.
	Is(type)	Gets if current instance of object is of the same type. Inherited from MfObject. Inherited from MfObject.
	IsInstance()	Get if the current class is an instance. Inherited from MfObject.
	LastIndexOf(obj)	Searches for the specified Object and returns the zero-based index of the Last occurrence within the entire MfGenericList. Overrides MfListBase.LastIndexOf()
	MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current MfObject instance. Inherited from MfObject.
	Remove(obj)	Removes the first occurrence of a specific object from the MfGenericList. Overrides MfListBase.Remove()
	RemoveAt(index)	Removes the MfGenericList item at the specified index. Overrides MfListBase.RemoveAt()
	ToArray()	Returns a One-Based AutoHotkey array representing all the elements in the current instance. Inherited from MfListBase
	ToString()	Gets a string representation of the object elements. Inherited from MfListBase
	VerifyIsInstance([ClassName, LineFile, LineNumber, Source])	Verifies the the current object is set to an instance. Inherited from MfObject.
	VerifyIsNotInstance([MethodName, LineFile, LineNumber, Source])	Verifies the the current object is NOT set to an instance. Used in Static methods. Inherited from MfObject.

Example

stud1 := new Student()
stud1.Id := "RT34TTTSV"
stud1.Name := "Frank Smith"
stud1.Age := 21
stud1.HomeRoom := "English 101"

stud2 := new Student()
stud2.Id := "WRT556SV"
stud2.Name := "Sue Smith"
stud2.Age := 20
stud2.HomeRoom := "French 102"

stud3 := new Student()
stud3.Id := "GTUFF7SV"
stud3.Name := "Bob Smith"
stud3.Age := 22
stud3.HomeRoom := "Math 201"

mfGl := new MfGenericList(Student)

mfGl.Add(stud1)
mfGl.Add(stud2)
mfGl.Add(stud3)

MsgBox, 64, Student Count, % MfString.Format("There are currently {0} Students", mfGl.Count)

for i, st in mfGl

st.EnrollmentYear := A_Year
}
MsgBox % mfGl.Item[0].EnrollmentYear

mfI := new MfInteger(24)
; Next line results in MfNotSupportedException only Student object can be added
mfGl.Add(mfI)
