Hi Selim,

The only reason to use #define constants is to make the code readable. You don't need to convert parameter value back to the #define constants. Use them when you assign values to the array items and than just pass that item (numeric) to the method. For the COM object method call there's no difference between #1 and #2, but #1 is readable when #2 is not.

#define WLNORMAL  2
#define WLREVERSE 3
* #1
oRF.Print(0,0,"just a test",WLCLEAR+WLNORMAL)
* #2
oRF.Print(0,0,"just a test",5)

See corrections inline.
