ConstantValueDescription

Remarks

Each McDBAttributeType instance is associated with a 32-bit (Long) Flags value, which is manipulated through this property. The two low-order bits of the Flags property represent behavior pre-defined/enforced by McDBLib, and are represented by the mcDBReservedAtbType enumeration. All other flags bits are available for use by client code. That is, although this property's type is mcDBReservedAtbType, it may be assigned any Long value (see the Example).
