default property of a class

[dlh]

I'm new to creating my own classes. I've learned a lot from Chip Pearson's site: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/Classes.aspx and from this post here: http://vbaexpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18495.

I've read in a couple places that there can only be one default property of a class, but they seem to mean that there can be only one default procedure. A property can be associated with both a Let and a Get procedure, so is there a way of getting a property to be both a read-default and a write-default for a class?

No, the property is default, and both the read and write attributes of that property will inherit that default, whether you separately classify them in the class or not.

Thank you very much, xld. Upon reexamination, my confusion arose because I had a problem with initialization at the same time as I tried assigning the default property. I thought Set would work as a constructor. Apparently this doesn't work:


Dim MyObj as MyClass
Set MyObj = "string to put in MyObj's default property"

But this does work:


Dim MyObj as MyClass
Set MyObj = New MyClass
MyObj = "string to put in MyObj's default property"
