Method that returns a copy of the profile_object.
...profile_object.Clone
Prerequisites
None
Parameters
None
Remarks
For objects, if a program contains a simple assignment statement:
object_1 = object_2
the result is that object_1points to the same data as object_2. Any subsequent change of a property in either object_1 or object_2 affects the data associated with both objects. To make an independent copy of an object, the Clone method is the standard means for performing this operation:
object_1 = object_2.Clone
Examples
Dim prof1 As New Profile ' Create new profile set to default values
Dim prof2 As Profile ' Create new profile with no data allocated
prof1.Decel = 25 ' Only decelerate at 25% of nominal rate
prof2 = prof1.Clone ' Makes a copy of prof1 data
prof2.Accel = 50 ' Doesn’t affect prof1 data
