T Perkins,
When you define your function, define the parameter as an Enum.
Something like:
Public Enum CommonOptions
Option1
Option2
Option3
End Enum
Public Enum MoreCommonOptions
Option1
Option2
Option3
Option4
End Enum
Public Class Functions
Public Function Common(ByVal options As CommonOptions, _
ByVal moreOptions As MoreCommonOptions) As Integer
End Function
End Class
Notice that each enum can have the same values, however those values do not
mean the same thing.
Using the Flags attribute you can make the Enum 'multivalue'.
<Flags()> Public Enum AccessValues
Read = 1
Write = 2
Browse = 4
Delete = 8
End Enum
Then you can use Or to combine them:
Common(AccessValues.Read or AccessValues.Writer)
Hope this helps

is there a way to have intellesence give a list of options for each
parameter of a newly create functions. an example would be, using
messagebox.show. after you put in the message and label, you have a list
of different type of button styles(MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel), then a list
for icon(MessageBoxIcon.Warning).
i am attempting to create a common function for programs to use at work. i
am thinking it would be easier for the other programmers to use these
functions if i could some how use intellesence to give a list of options
that they can choose from a list when its appropriate to do so
thanks in advance
