Enum:
A list of constants... How can I explain this... Look at the example:
Enum MyEnum
MyZero ' First value is zero if unspecified
MyOne ' If value is unspecified, it equals (the value from before) + 1
MyTwo
MyThree
MyEight = 8 ' Specified
MyNine
End Enum
Dim Something As MyEnum
Something = MyZero ' Something = 0
Something = MyTwo ' Something = 2
Something = MyNine ' Something = 9
This probably wasn't the best explanation... Check online help...

To enumerate something is, basically, to assign a number value to a string of text. Here's an example of some code I have in one of my programs:
Code:
Public Enum WA_Turn
C = &H1303&
CC = &H1304&
Around = &H1305&
End Enum
Public Sub Turn(Direction As WA_Turn)
Message(Direction)
End Sub
When the programmer types "Turn(", a pop-up box will display, listing ONLY the three values in the WA_Turn enumeration. Easy way of eliminating unessecary items, while making it easier to remember (CC is easier than &H1304&)

Hi ShadowCrawler..
Would you please go further in explaning what is the common use of Enum. I'm just like (Dayo312), I read about it a lot but with no clue about it's possible use.
If you may, would you post some simple example?
Thanx for sharing & helping.
