VB Forum / COM / November 2003How to use VB Reserved Word in method signature?
Hi everybody! Is there any way to use VB reserved word as a name of my custom procedure (in the public class module within ActiveX DLL). In particular, I need something like this: Dim mType as Long Public Property Get Type() As Long Type=mType End Property Since "Type" is reserved word I can't use it directly in VB. I think I heard about such possibility, can't remember where. Any ideas? Thank you in advance. > Is there any way to use VB reserved word as a name of my custom procedure > (in the public class module within ActiveX DLL).

You may be able to do something like this in VB6: Public Property Get [Type]() As Long [Type]=mType End Property VB5 allowed similar things with Enum members, but that's all. -- Joe Foster <mailto:jlfoster%40znet.com> Sign the Check! <http://www.xenu.net/> WARNING: I cannot be held responsible for the above They're coming to because my cats have apparently learned to type. take me away, ha ha! Nope. I tried this before - doesn't work. I think maybe there is a way to build DLL in VB and then alter it somehow using COM tools. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with that and hoped may be somebody could give me some starting point to begin research. Thank you Joe.

I may be wrong about this but if you declare the interface in a type library and implement it in your dll it may do what you want. Regards Rob > Nope.

I probably should burn with shame but I have no idea what does it mean "declare the interface in a type library and implement it in your dll". I often read something like this but never had a chance to work with it. Could you breifely tell me (I don't need details - I'll learn myself) what steps are involved here. Don't bother if it's too much - I'll find it myself. Thank you very much. > I may be wrong about this but if you declare the interface in a type library > and implement it in your dll it may do what you want.

Wouldn't it be easier to just change the name of the function? Rob > Hi, Robert! > [quoted text clipped - 59 lines] > away, > > > ha ha! Sure I do it. It is just "nice to have feature" in my object. I try to create some library that will have structure similar to another standard library. Then I would use existing procs to use with both libraries without altering the code (for the price of using late binding). For example: Sub DoSomething(obj as Object) If obj.Type=1 Then DoThis Else DoThat End Sub Where obj can be object created from my class or that standard library. Anyway it is not very important for me. Thank you. >-----Original Message----- >Try http://www.mvps.org/vb/hardcore/ chapter 10 for an explaination of [quoted text clipped - 72 lines] > >. OK. I found some initial information how to create and use type library in Microsoft KB. I don't know whether it can solve my original problem but at least I'll study something new.

Would you mind sharing the link as I am also interested in achieving exactly the same goal. Thanks > OK. I found some initial information how to create and use type library in > Microsoft KB.

There is no solution there for my problem - just, as I said, some initial info to start experimenting. Unfortunately I was busy with other things and didn't work on it. >-----Original Message----- >Would you mind sharing the link as I am also interested in achieving exactly [quoted text clipped - 64 lines] > >. |
