Declaring Public String Constants in DLLs. How?

[JNeave]

I mean string constants that can be seen by the VB app that refernces the DLL. It must be able to be done, as VB (the library in the object browser) contains a Public module (???) called "Constants" containing public string and numeric constants. How the heck did they do that? Does anybody know?

cheers,

Jim.

I suspect that this is a constraint put on the Visual Basic language by Microsoft. I assume that VB is written in C++ which may not have the same restrictions.

You could get round this by declaring a class call Constants and returning the constant values as properties.

That's what we do at current, have read only properties in a GlobalMultiUse Class. We're just hoping there is a better way.
