    Thumbs up what is this

    I have a struct that is initialized as
    With
    .structsize=LenB(struct);
    .mask=&H7DFFF

    and the struct6 is defined as

    {
    dim structsize as Long;
    dim mask as Enum;
    dim s as String
    }

    and Enum is

    {
    x-coor=1,
    y-coor=5,
    z-coor=1000,
    t-coor=123445
    .......
    }

    what is the mask ?
    is it equivalent to 0x7DFFF ?
    Thank you

    Yes, and (also according to Calc) it is 1111101111111111111 binary which is probably the most graphic way of viewing it since it apparently is a bit mask.

    Looks like it's an ENUM
