The solution includes use of an Enum Statement. I looked for a way to loop through the members and found this code on Microsoft's website:
Public Enum flavorEnum
salty
sweet
sour
bitter
End Enum
Private Sub TestMethod()
MsgBox ("The strings in the flavorEnum are:")
Dim i As String
For Each i In [Enum].GetNames(GetType(flavorEnum))
MsgBox (i)
Next
End Sub
That looks easy enough, but my computer complains that GetType isn't declared as a variable. On the off-chance that it makes sense I looked for mscorlib.dll but didn't find it among my system files. I found that mscorlib.dll belongs to .NET. So, perhaps that is a dead end.
Now, whether or not mscorlib.dll can run on my computer (Windows 2000 SP4) and whether or not it contains the GetType function isn't really my primary concern. What would be very useful to me is a way to iterate through the members of an Enum Statement - perhaps just in the way the above code promises to do.
Any advice any one? :-)
