Module-Level Code Organization

Module-level code can appear in between methods or properties. Declare statements, Enum, Type and similar declarations need not come before the first Sub/Function/Property, as VB6 requires. The following is valid:

Private Const foo = "foo"
Sub SomeMethod()
'...
End Sub
Private Const bar = "bar"
Sub SomeOtherMethod()
'...
End Sub

Preset Methods for Code Part Names

The following can be used and what they represent will be automatically inserted as a String:

  • CurrentComponentName, e.g. “Form1”
  • CurrentProcedureName, e.g. “Foo” when in Sub Foo()
  • CurrentProjectName
  • CurrentSourceFile
  • CurrentComponentCLSID

Removal of Limits

twinBASIC imposes no artificial limitations on line continuations, procedure size, number of controls on a form, module size, and more.
