Example

This example illustrates the use of the Remove method to remove objects from a Collection object, MyClasses. This code removes the object whose index is 1 on each iteration of the loop.

Dim Num, MyClasses
For Num = 1 To MyClasses.Count
    MyClasses.Remove 1                    ' Remove the first object each time
                                            ' through the loop until there are
                                            ' no objects left in the collection.
Next Num

Example (Extensibility Object Model)

The example verifies that a particular member of the VBComponents collection is a module, and then it uses the Remove method to remove the module.

Debug.Print Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents(4).Name
Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents.Remove _
    Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents(4)
