Const Statement 

 

Const name = expression

 

Assigns a symbolic name to a constant value.

 

A constant must be defined before it is used. 

 

The definition of a Const in Cypress Enable outside the procedure or at the module level is a global.  The syntax Global Const and Const are used below outside the module level are identical.

 

A type declaration character may be used however if none is used Enable will automatically assign one of the following data types to the constant, long (if it is a long or integer), Double (if a decimal place is present), or a String ( if it is a string).  

 

Example:

 

Global Const Height = 14.4357     '

Const PI = 3.14159      'Global to all procedures in a module

   TEXT 10, 40, 28, 12, "Radius"

   TEXTBOX 42, 40, 28, 12, .Radius

   OKBUTTON 42, 54,40, 12

End Dialog

Dim Dlg1 As DialogName1

CylArea = Height * (Dlg1.Radius * Dlg1.Radius) * PI

MsgBox "The volume of Cylinder x is " & CylArea
