Android Question Code Module vs Class Module

[realblue]

Hi Erel;

Can I use set/get properties in "Code Module" as in "Class Module"?

'Code Module : MyModule
Sub setMyProperty(Value As Object)
    m_MyProperty=Value
End Sub

Sub getMyProperty As Object
    Return m_MyProperty
End Sub

. . .

'Activity module
MyModule.MyProperty = "value"
Log(MyModule.MyProperty)

. . .

Thanks for the reply. Of course I know the differences. What I am asking is a syntactic ease as Erel phrased "Properties syntax can be considered a syntactic sugar."

Yes, you can declare a variable as private and expose only the getter/setter.

I just tested it. You can create the public methods as Informatix said, e.g. getText / setText, but you wont have the associated Text property which is the syntatic sugar. Since properties are only for classes.
