Wish Enum Type

[Knoppi]

difficult to maintain
BAD

Public Const Red As Int = 0
Public Const Green As Int = 1
Public Const Blue As Int = 2

This code is much easier to maintain.
GOOD

' VB.NET sample:
Public Enum Color
  Red
  Green
  Blue
End Enum

This wish exists since 2012 https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/wish-enum-type.17768/

Please implement

I never use Enum.
To enable intellisense, I will use custom type.

Sub Process_Globals
    Type Color ( _
        Red As Int, _
        Green As Int, _
        Blue As Int)
    Private Color As Color
End Sub

Sub AppStart (Args() As String)
    Color = CreateColor(0xFFFF0000, 0xFF00FF00, 0xFF0000FF)  
    LogColor("Red", Color.Red)
    LogColor("Green", Color.Green)
    LogColor("Blue", Color.Blue)
End Sub

Public Sub CreateColor (Red As Int, Green As Int, Blue As Int) As Color
    Dim t1 As Color
    t1.Initialize
    t1.Red = Red
    t1.Green = Green
    t1.Blue = Blue
    Return t1
End Sub

I never use Enum.
To enable intellisense,

Sub Process_Globals
    Public Const RED As Int = 1
    Public Const GREEN As Int = 2
    Public Const BLUE As Int = 3
End Sub

However, having to create a code module for each Enum is a pain, it increases the number of modules.
I don't know why Erel doesn't implement Enums, but there must be a reason.

Yes Const is automatically intellisense enabled.
I write like this:

Public Const COLOR_RED  As Int = -65536
Public Const COLOR_BLUE As Int = -16776961

But sometimes we may want to group some variables as same type.
