property

Hello,
question about the values for a property. I have a class with an enum and
property:
classA
public enum x as short
a
b
c
end enum

property xy() as x
...
end prop

When I dim a new class and fill the property:
dim inst as new classA
inst.xy=

After typing the equal sign (intellisense) I see the possible prop values
listed as:
classA.x.a
classA.x.b
classA.x.c
Is there a way to lose the prefix classA.x? Or even give completely other
informational names for the enum.
Thanx
Frank

Don't make the enum a property of the class, just make it public and in the
same namespace.. Then you can reference it directly and reuse it elsewhere
if need be.

Add 'Imports WindowsApplication1.ClassA.X' on top of your file.

You can lose the "ClassA" prefix defining your enum out of the class ClassA.
