I am trying to create a set of constants defined as Documents.Graphics.Brushes.Gray, .Red, .Black, etc. But am not having any luck. I thought I could define them as
Private Const BrushGray as Documents.Graphics.Brush = Documents.Graphics.Brushes.Gray
but alas, it requires an enumerated type this way. Anyone have any ideas or know what I am not seeing? I can dim it as a local variable this way in the method, but not as a global const. I really need to do it as a global constant as they are used throughout the report. Thanks.
Hi dbishop9,
You are correct. Brushes is class and what you need to satisfy the requirements of a constant is an enum.
In this scenario you would need to create an enum from the Brushes class. You can do this by setting class properties and assigning them to enum values. Once you do this you would be able to set your constant.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions regarding this matter.
