The following examples, under different development environments, show how to use enumerated types in your code. These examples assume that one instance of the control, named AudioSoundRecorder1, exists on a form. The purpose of this sample code is to check if the recorder is currently ripping a CD track.
After typing the code
If AudioSoundRecorder1.Status
press the "=" key on your keyboard. IntelliSense displays the listbox of the possible values that can be assigned to the method parameter.
Select the AudioSoundRecorder.enumRecorderStates.RECORD_STATUS_CD_RIPPING value so the complete line of code will be:
If AudioSoundRecorder1.Status = AudioSoundRecorder.enumRecorderStates.RECORD_STATUS_CD_RIPPING
' do something
...
Else
' do something else
...
End If
This environment requires a couple of additional lines of code to make use of Intellisense. First, you must add the components namespace to your code so the following line must be inserted at the beginning of the form management file:
using AudioSoundRecorder;
After typing the code...
if (audioSoundRecorder1.Status == enumRecorderStates
press the "." key on your keyboard. Note that to use Intellisense, you must add enumRecorderStates after the equal sign in order to trigger the enumRecorderStates enumerated type. After typing a period, Intellisense is activated.
Select the RECORD_STATUS_CD_RIPPING value so the complete line of code will be:
if (audioSoundRecorder1.Status == enumRecorderStates.RECORD_STATUS_CD_RIPPING)
// do something
....
else
// do something else
....
