[RESOLVED] Using a ENUM definition in class properties

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

Code:

---

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:

Code:

---

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...

Code:

---

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

---

Code:

---

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
