Variable declaration

[SlykFX]

is it possible to assign a variable a value at declaration?

the main reason i would like to do this is im using user-defined types but would like each of them to start with preset values but cant use consts as they will change during the applications execution

im currently using a subroutine and passing each variable that uses the type but this is long-winded and id like a shorter way of doing things

any help much appreciated

I can't be bothered to have a sig!

im pretty sure the answer is no!

u can set up a generic type in the form load then just assign it to your new types in code

Private Type bobby
stringy As String
booly As Boolean
inty As Integer
doobly As Double
End Type

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Semp As bobby

Semp.stringy = "i am your god"
Semp.booly = True
Semp.inty = 28989
Semp.doobly = &H600000

End Sub

private sub SomeButton_click()

Dim arrayofsemp(19) As bobby

For i = 0 To 19
arrayofsemp(i) = Semp
Next i

end sub

hope that makes sense

good luck and merry christmas
