[ Shadows ], [ expressionList ]	In syntax, optional items are enclosed in brackets.
{ Public | Friend | Private }	In syntax, when you must make a choice between two or more items, the items are enclosed in braces and separated by vertical bars. You must select one, and only one, of the items.
[ Protected | Friend ]	In syntax, when you have the option of selecting between two or more items, the items are enclosed in square brackets and separated by vertical bars. You can select any combination of the items, or no item.
[{ ByVal | ByRef }]	In syntax, when you can select no more than one item, but you can also omit the items completely, the items are enclosed in square brackets surrounded by braces and separated by vertical bars.
memberName1, memberName2, memberName3	Multiple instances of the same placeholder are differentiated by subscripts, as shown in the example.
memberName1 ... memberNameN	In syntax, an ellipsis (...) is used to indicate an indefinite number of items of the kind immediately in front of the ellipsis. In code, ellipses signify code omitted for the sake of clarity.
ESC, ENTER	Key names and key sequences on the keyboard appear in all uppercase letters.
ALT+F1	When plus signs (+) appear between key names, you must hold down one key while pressing the other. For example, ALT+F1 means hold down the ALT key while pressing the F1 key.
