Description

[Private] ... [/Private] surround member tags and variables which should be kept private to a custom data type.

Private members can be accessed from within any of the member tags of a custom type using the [Self->TagName] or [Self->'VariableName'] syntax. Private members cannot be accessed from outside an instance of the custom type. They are not listed by ->Properties and cannot be called using ->TagName or ->'VariableName'. Private members cannot be accessed by sub-classes of the data type.

The [Private] ... [/Private] tags should be used to protect member tags which are used for the implementation of the data type, but do not need to be called from outside the data type. These tags can also be used to protect variables which hold the state of the custom type.
