hummm... ok, so how to you get a constant to be a byte and storing 7 for the
decimal value?
The compiler normally uses the smallest possible type that can represent the
value. You can force it however by using e.g.
const
MyConst = Word(42);
ok... so in the situation this thread is covering:
const
foldhiddenbit = byte(7);
foldhiddenmask = byte(1 shl foldhiddenbit);
currentfoldhiddenbit = byte(6);
currentfoldhiddenmask = byte(1 shl currentfoldhiddenbit);
foldlevelmask = byte(not (foldhiddenmask or currentfoldhiddenmask));
is the way to do it?
or are you saying that you cannot use a typed constant in the init of another
(typed) constant?
Correct.
strange...
