[Gambas-user] Using Character constants in Gambas

[Caveat]

You're welcome :-)

I was thinking if you want your module to be used by others who may have
the bright idea of changing the public attributes, you should probably
code using the CONST keyword...it's also clearer that these values
should never be  changed...

PUBLIC CONST ErrorDialog AS Integer = 0
PUBLIC CONST WarningDialog AS Integer = 1
PUBLIC CONST InformationDialog AS Integer = 2
PRIVATE DefaultDialogType AS Integer = ErrorDialog
...


The following code will now produce a runtime error on the 2nd line:

  PRINT "before: " & DialogFactory.ErrorDialog
  DialogFactory.ErrorDialog = 5
  PRINT "after: " & DialogFactory.ErrorDialog

Regards,
Caveat
