Hello, quick question:

I'd like to create some custom data types, but I don't think I'm asking the right question(s).

There are "compound Boolean" values used throughout .NET, and I want to design some of my own. I've been using a series of Boolean variables, which works, but just isn't the same.

Examples from .NET include: Color.Black Alignment.Centered [fontProperties].Bold* *I forget the actual name, but you get the idea

I want to make something like this:

ColorSortQualities

• None
• DistinguishColor
• DistinguishNumberOfColors
• DistinguishColorPattern

Once that's been declared, I could do this: if(searchOptions.ColorSortQualities == DistinguishColor) [do stuff]

What is this called?

Thanks!
