    creating primitive type

    hi all, is there anyway that we can create our own primitive type?

    let's say we call this
    Code:
    dim test = 4
    then test will automatically be an integer right..

    but i wanted this
    Code:
    dim test = 4%
    and i want test not to be an integer, but a percentage_integer, in other words, my own primitive type. is that possible?

    No, u cant create primitive data types..

    but u can create your own type in vb

    Re: creating primitive type

    ok thanks for the tip

    but the format of a primitive type is neater than creating a new structure. is there a way that we can change how the compiler works such that it can accept my primitive type?
