Hello,
I am trying to write a function that will return the value to be stored from
any control based on the control's type. So for text boxes and labels it
would return the text value, for list boxes the ListIndex, for combos maybe
the Items data etc. with several possible return types (string, int etc).
My function (that does not work) is:
Public Function SaveValue(ByVal ctrlIn As Control) As VariantType
If (TypeOf ctrlIn Is TextBox) Then
SaveValue = ctrlIn.Text
End If
If (TypeOf ctrlIn Is Label) Then
SaveValue = ctrlIn.Text
End If
If (TypeOf ctrlIn Is ComboBox) Then
Dim cbTemp As ComboBox = CType(ctrlIn, ComboBox)
SaveValue = cbTemp.Selected Index
End If
End Function
I played with variant type thinking it might work - but cannot get the
function to perform as I want. Any ideas? Thanks.

I didn't think this would be as difficult as it now seems to me.
I am reading in a csv file that documents a bunch of different info on

several other bits of info too.
I can do a simple sort over the first field (title as it turns out),
and that is fine as far as it gets:

I have been thinking about a possible extension to C/C++ syntax.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
