CVShort

Reads a Short back from a 2-byte string.

Syntax

Declare Function CVShort ( ByRef str As Const String ) As Short

Parameters

• str

Description

Returns a 16-bit Short integer value using the binary data contained in a String of at least two bytes in length. A value of zero (0) is returned if the string is less than two bytes in length.

CVShort is used to convert 2-byte strings created with MKShort.

This function can also be used to convert 16-bit integer values from a memory or file buffer without the need for a Type structure. However, just as with the type structure, special care should be taken when using CVShort to convert strings that have been read from a buffer.

Return Value

Short variable holding the binary copy of a Keypgshort.

Remarks

Usage

result = CVShort( str )

Dialect Differences
