[RESOLVED] Using a ENUM definition in class properties

[JacquesLebrun]

In a global module, I define a new type that can take 4 values:

enum tAction as integer
   None
   Update
   Insert
   Delete
end enum

A use this type in many places in my code to check the value stored in a variable (if MyAction = tAction.Delete then ...)

In a separate file, I define a class. One of the properties should return a value of this type:

public class XXX

private _Action as tAction

public property ClassAction() as tAction
  get
    return _Action
  end get
end property

end class

This way I could check a class property in the same manner (if MyClass.ClassAction = tAction.Insert then ...)

However I get a syntax error in the property definition: 'ClassAction' cannot expose type 'Globals.tAction' outside the project through class 'XXX'

My entire program consists in a few modules, in a single project. How can I use my tAction definition in my classes?

Make it Public Enum instead of just Enum

Even with PUBLIC, I still get the same error ...

There is probably an easier way...

Public Class XXX

    Private _Action As myEnums.tAction

    Public ReadOnly Property ClassAction() As myEnums.tAction
        Get
            Return Me._Action
        End Get
    End Property

End Class

Module Module1
    'former location of tAction
End Module

Namespace myEnums
    Public Enum tAction As Integer
        None
        Update
        Insert
        Delete
    End Enum
End Namespace

Adding an Imports to Class XXX will aleviate the need for "myEnums." .

I did not know I could use namespaces for this. I made the change and my program now works perfectly! THANKS
