Custom Property Type?

Not sure what this is called, but I saw it once, and need to do it again.

It's like a Boolean, you have a select list of options to choose from (in booleans case, it's only True or False) How do I create my own?

Like:
Dim k as CustomStatus
k = Stopped

Where CustomStatus can be set to one of the following only:
Stopped
Running
Waiting
Paused

Even if I knew what this is called I can research it, but I never used it before.

This is called enumeration.

Code:

---

Private Enum CustomStatus
  Stopped = 0
  Running = 1
  Waiting = 2
  Paused =3
End Enum

---

Enumeration is what you're looking for. The Keyword in VB is "Enum"

Code:

---

Public Enum myType As Integer
  ItemOne = 1
  ItemTwo
ItemThree

---

If you don't specify a value, the next number in the sequence will be used. If you don't specify a starting value, 0 gets used...

Code:

---

Public Enum myType As Integer
  ItemOne
  ItemTwo
ItemThree

---

Also the numbers don't need to be in order, but then you have to specify each value

Code:

---

Public Enum myType As Integer
  ItemOne = 10
  ItemTwo = 5
ItemThree = 200

You are thinking of an Enum:

Code:

---

Public Enum CustomStatus
 Stopped
 Running
 Waiting
 Paused
End Enum

Wow, two posts got in ahead of me.
