The point of any dictionary is to be able to have a means, by using a key, to return a value.  So... that's what we have.  Debugging and reporting on how the dictionary is constructed is simply a matter of development process.

Thanks a lot for your answers.

 

I solved my problem, i will post my code below, maybe will help someone.

 

var wndConspanAnalysisGrid = Aliases.LEAPBridgeConcrete.wndConspan.MDIClient.wndMain.pageMain.pageAnalysis.Custom1;

function TestCreateDictionary()
{
  var arrList = getActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary");
  
  for (let i = 1; i <= wndConspanAnalysisGrid.wRowCount; i++)
  {
    var arrListColumns = getActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary");

    //Sub keys
    for (let j = 1; j <= wndConspanAnalysisGrid.wColumnCount; j++)
    {
      arrListColumns.Add(GetCellText(0, j), GetCellText(i, j));
    }

    //Principal keys
    arrList.Add(GetCellText(i, 0), arrListColumns);
  }

  /*var safeArray = (arrList.Keys().toArray())
  for (let i in safeArray) {
    Log.Message("Key is: " + safeArray[i]);
    var lineD = arrList.Item(safeArray[i]);
    var line = lineD.Keys().toArray();
    for (let k in line)
      Log.Message("Key is: " + line[k] + ", value is: " + lineD.Item(line[k]))
  }*/
  
  var value = SearchValue(arrList, "2", "Location(m)");

  Log.Message(value);
  //return arrList;
}

function SearchValue(arrList, lineKey, columnKey)
{
  var line = arrList.Item(lineKey);
  
  return line.Item(columnKey);
}

function GetCellText(i, j)
{
  return wndConspanAnalysisGrid.GetItemText(i, j).m_pszData;
}
