Why won't OOo Basic remember my static variable value?

Question

Here's my code:

Sub PleaseRemembermyVariable

Static Test as integer

Test = Test + 1

Print Test

End Sub

Every time I run this procedure the variable 'test' is reset to 0. I've been following a tutorial but it won't work for me ;(

Thanks

Answer 1

I believe the static variable must be declared as a class variable and not a local variable within the method because everytime that method is run it will reset the static variable as you declare it over and over.

Answer 2

You have to put the static variable at the class scope

You can have static variables at the local scope in c++, but not in VB.
