what does this line in VB mean?

Hi
can you guys tell me what this line in VB means?

Private const NAME_FLAGS_MASK = &H87

my primitive understanding is that it means i am setting NAME_FLAGS_MASK to a hex value of 87.

am i right?

I am 95% sure you are right. You are assigning NAME_FLAGS_MASK to &H87 and you are making it a constant, therefore this means that the value cannot change and is constant throughout the program.

Hope this helps,

Retro.
