Visual Basic 2012: I want something like a boolean but there are three possible answers? Is there anything like this already or can you make something like this?

Really isn't necessary the generation of a new Enumeration... you could use TriState Enumeration.

An example:

Private Shadows Sub Load() Handles MyBase.Load
    MsgBox(func(100)) ' Result = -2
End Sub

Public Function func(ByVal number As Integer) As TriState

    Select Case number

        Case Is < 100
            Return TriState.False

        Case Is > 100
            Return TriState.True

        Case Else ' Equals to 100
            Return TriState.UseDefault

    End Select

End Function

Like DonA's answer, I'd recommend an Enum, however... I highly recommend using -1, 0, and 1.

Public Enum State
    FirstState = -1
    SecondState = 0
    ThirdState = 1
End Enum

Now you're not just using three values, but better, you're using three signs essentially. Positive, zero, and negative.
