Specifies public member access control in a Type or Class

Syntax

Type typename
Public:
member declarations
End Type

Parameters

typename
name of the Type or Class
member declarations
declarations for fields, functions, or enumerations

Description

Public: indicates that member declarations following it have public access. Public members are accessible with any usage of the Type or Class.

member declarations following Public: are public until a different access control specifier is given, like Private: or Protected:

Members in a Type declaration are Public: by default if no member access control specifier is given.

Example

Type testing
  Private:
    nome As String
  Public:
    number As Integer
  Declare Sub setNome( ByRef newnome As String )
End Type

Sub testing.setnome( ByRef newnome As String )
  this.nome = newnome 
End Sub

Dim As testing myVariable

'' We can access these members anywhere since
'' they're public
myVariable.number = 69 ''
myVariable.setNome( "FreeBASIC" )
