User Defined Types
Declaration
Declaring and describing user defined types
Referencing
Accessing data in a user defined type
Member Procedures
Declaring and defining methods related to a user defined type
Member Access Control
Controlling when data and member procedures are accessed
Declarations
Referencing
ENUM...END ENUM
User defined enumeration of values
TYPE...END TYPE
User defined structure of non overlapping data and member procedures
CLASS...END CLASS
Not implemented. Keyword reserved.
UNION...END UNION
User defined structure of overlapping data
EXTENDS
Extends an user defined type to derive another
EXTENDS WSTRING
Extends an user defined type to inherits Wstring behavior
EXTENDS ZSTRING
Extends an user defined type to inherits Zstring behavior
IMPLEMENTS
Not implemented. Keyword reserved.
FIELD
Specifies field alignment within a user defined type
OBJECT
Built-in type providing run-time type information
Referencing
Temporary Types
Creates a temporary copy of a user defined type
THIS
Built-in, hidden, parameter passed to non-static member procedures to access the user defined type instance
BASE (member access)
Built-in, hidden, variable to access the base user defined type instance in derived user defined types
Type Alias
Declares a user defined type from other user defined or standard data types
WITH
Compound statement to access the data and members of a user defined type
Member Procedures
Member Access Control
BASE (initialization)
Specifies an initializer for the base user defined type in derived user defined type constructors
CONSTRUCTOR
Declares or defines a member procedure that is automatically called when a user defined type is created
DESTRUCTOR
Declares or defines a member procedure that is automatically called when a user defined type is destroyed or goes out of scope
FUNCTION
Declares or defines a member procedure returning a value
OPERATOR
Declares or defines an overloaded operator
OVERRIDE
Member method attribute that specifies that the method is expected to override a virtual method in the base user defined type
PROPERTY
Declares or defines property member procedures for a user defined type
SUB
Declare or defines a member procedure
STATIC (Member)
Declares or defines a member procedure or variable is static
VIRTUAL
Member method attribute that declares that a member must have an implementation
ABSTRACT
Member method attribute that declares that a member must be implemented in a derived user defined type
CONST (Member)
Member method attribute that declares or defines that the method is readonly and does not modify the user defined types's data
Member Access Control
PUBLIC: (Access Control)
Data and members in a user defined type have public visibility
PRIVATE: (Access Control)
Data and members in a user defined type have private visibility
PROTECTED: (Access Control)
Data and members in a user defined type have protected visibility
