In some of our code, we have carry out certain bits of code based on a property value (eg. in our error logging routine, I log different information based on the value of a property in our error object). There are only a small set of valid values for this property and so I've #define'd the values in our header file.

However, I do not seem to be able to set the default value of a property to this constant. If I type the name into the property field, it generates code that assigns that name as a string to the property (1). If I implement it as an expression it tries to evaluate it as if it were a variable name which doesn't exist (2).

? "oError.LoggingCode : "
?? oError.LoggingCode

returns (1)

oError.LoggingCode : k_ERRLOG_DEFAULT

or (2)

oError.LoggingCode : .F.

The constant is definitely defined correctly, since the line following those above contains

? k_ERRLOG_DEFAULT

and returns

0

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? If necessary I'll have to assign values to the field in the init event but that will render the ResetToDefault() function useless.

Thanks,
