What are the LiteView2 enumerations used for?

LiteView2 enumerations define named constant values for method parameters and property values. For example, LV2CaptureFormat specifies PNG or JPEG for screenshots; LV2BrowsingDataKinds specifies which cache data to clear; LV2ColorScheme sets light or dark mode. Using the named constants instead of bare numbers makes VBA code self-documenting and avoids magic numbers.

Do I need to reference a type library to use LiteView2 enumerations in VBA?

In Registered Mode (after regsvr32), you can add a reference to the LiteView2 type library in Tools > References to get IntelliSense and named constants. In Reg-Free Mode (IBrowserPool), declare the constants as Public Const in your modLV2Pool module using the numeric values listed on this page.

How many enumerations does LiteView2 expose?

LiteView2 exposes 13 enumerations covering browsing data kinds, resource context, focus reasons, popup mode, license state, color scheme, print orientation, tracking prevention, memory usage target, scrollbar style, download dialog alignment, PDF toolbar items, and screenshot capture format.
