Option Data Type

  • Artículo

This simple data type denotes an option value.

Remarks

In the OptionString Property of the field or variable, you can enter the option values as a comma-separated list. The Option type is a zero-based enumerator type, which means that the option values are assigned to sequential numbers, starting with 0. You can convert option data types to integers.

For more information about option variables in multilanguage-enabled applications, see Developing Multilanguage-Enabled Applications.
