Hi,
Is there a construct in Gambas like Enumerations (as known as in Java or C++)? Or should I define a class with constants to emulate that?

Thanks

absolutely Anything can be made into an array and enumerated

Just like this for an example object called MyObject

I can't get Bruce's code to work. This is a little simpler if it helps.

Well it wasn't really code it was an example.  you'd have to make a MyObject.class and give it Data1/Data2 properties

But your code is as good as any.

Here's some other ways to enumerate.

see /comp/gb/enum - Gambas Documentation for how to make your own class have enumeration.


Or do you mean declaring constant variables that increase in number?  that sort of Enum?
You can do that too.
See here
/lang/enumdecl - Gambas Documentation

Code (gambas)

1. Public Enum This, That, TheOther
2. 'This will be 0, that 1 and so on
3.

Code (gambas)

1. Public Enum This = 10, That, TheOther
2. ' This will be 10, That 11 and so on
3.  

Thanks, this is the thing I'm looking for.
