constant string array

[questionit]

Hi

How to declare a constant array variable of String type in VB/VBA

I've tried doing many things like this bt doesn't work

Const constStrArry() As String = ("string1"), ("string2")

with every similar method, i get error

is it possible to declare constant string array at all in VB?

The concept behind a Constants is that they can be used in place of Literal Values and you set them equal to an expression, the expression being a Literal, other Constant, or any combination that includes all arithmetic or logical operators except Is. To the best of my knowledge, you cannot Declare a Constant as any type of an Array. Why would you even attempt something like this? What are you trying to accomplish?

I understand what you mean.

While doing some example, i came across that idea.. What if you need to check something against many values - Values belonged to same thing (same variable) . In that case, i would need an array constant.

I mean there is n orestriction the scenarious!

would you recommend using Enum instead in this case?

Give me a solid, concrete, example of what you are referring to.
