Examples
The following examples demonstrate how FOR EACH is used to enumerate elements in a Visual FoxPro array, an OLE array, and a set command buttons assigned to an object array.
In the following example, a Visual FoxPro variable array is created and FOR EACH is used to display the contents of each element in the array.

In the following example, an instance of Microsoft Excel is created, and a new workbook is added. FOR EACH is used to display the name of each worksheet in the workbook. This example requires that Microsoft Excel be properly installed on the machine on which the example is run.
