[RESOLVED] get the actual name of an enumeration

[ZeBula8]

Is there a way in vb6, as there is in .NET, to get the actual name of an enumeration constant ?

ie:

enum test
one=0
two
end enum

return "one" instead of 0

No, but you could do this.

Option Explicit
Private Enum test
one = 0
two
End Enum
Private EnumNames(1) As String
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
EnumNames(0) = "one"
EnumNames(1) = "two"
 
MsgBox EnumNames(one) ' ==> one
 
End Sub

That'll work - thanks marty!

You're welcome. BTW the best way to show that the thread is resolved is by pulling down the Thread Tools menu and clicking the Mark Thread Resolved button.
