Persistent classes

[Erik-wikstrom]

I have read a number of post describing how to use a hidden sheet to
store persistent data, however my data is not simple (just a few
strings or numbers) so I was wondering if there was any way to store a
class instance in a hidden sheet.

The problem with my data is that I have an instance of one class,
which contains collections of classes A, B, C, and D. A in turn
contains a collections of D, D a collection of B. C also contains
collections of other classes. Most of those collections will grow as
the user works with the sheet. This means that I can not store the
member of the classes easily in a sheet, since I would have to move
them around when they grow (I would have needed a N-dimentional sheet
instead of just 2D).

I cannot see why you couldn't store the data in a worksheet.

It would be easy to loop around and dump all existing data.

You certainly cannot persist the class, the best would be to dump all that
data elsewhere ... the same thing.
