how to use enumeration

[chandru8]

Hi to all.

[CODE=vb]
Public Type hogan_cumn_buff
Idtype As String * 2
Idno As String * 16
Maincountry As String * 6
Residence As String * 2
Hometel As String * 8
Hometelext As String * 4
Pagerno As String * 8
Pagerext As String * 4
Officetel As String * 8
Officetelext As String * 4
Mobileno As String * 12
Action As String * 1
Remarks(1 To 40) As String
End Type
[/CODE]
In this type I have to assign a value by default, but I know it's not possible. Is there any way to assign a value?

Thanks

Perhaps you should be looking at using a class rather than a user-defined data type.

However, if you do want to do it this way, perhaps you could simply invoke a function to create any new occurence, and the function would fill in any appropriate defaults.

Which is kind of a vastly simplified version of a class, of course. :-)

Hi,

When you declare a Variable with the above type, all the String inside the type will be Initialized to Blank String..

To Assign some value, use this code:

[code=vb]
Dim TempVar As hogan_cumn_buff
TempVar.Idtype ="AA"
TempVar.Idno ="XYZZ"
TempVar.Maincou ntry ="INDIA"
' And SO On...
[/code]
