I was finding Konstants are not behaving consistently.
Sometimes, they work as expected, at others I am getting runtime errors
regarding type comparison problems.
Some of the constants were behaving as if they and not been
initialized, yet the debugger shows that they have the expected value.
Hovering the mouse over the problematic Konstant shows that it to be of
the correct type (longint or text as appropriate), and has the expected
value.
Entering an expression in the debugger such as :
my_Konstant = "Text_Value" resolves to true.
The 2 most common issues I was seeing were:
- Passing a Konstant as a parameter, and the value in the called method
was blank ("", or zero)
- making an assignment with a Konstant, error not compatible type
After much nashing of teeth, hair pulling, and few times of forehead
meeting desk I have found the following things:
- the word 'Option' can not start a Konstant name, have not tested if
can be embedded in the Konstant's name.
- the word 'Menu' or 'Menus' seems to be disallowed as a Group/Theme
name.
