CBool Function

CBool Function

---

Syntax

     Dim result As Boolean = CBool(expression) 

expression (required; String or Numeric)

Any numeric expression or a string representation of a numeric value. The string values "True" and "False" are also supported.

Description

The CBool function converts expression to the Boolean data type.

Usage at a Glance

• When a numeric value is converted to Boolean, any nonzero value is converted to true, and zero is converted to False.

• If the expression to be converted is a string, the string must be capable of being evaluated as a number, or it must be "True" and "False." Any other string generates a runtime error.

• You can check the validity of a numeric expression prior to using the CBool function by using the IsNumeric function.

• This function does not support named arguments.
