<= Operator

Used to determine whether one alphabetic or quantitative expression is smaller than or equal to another. String comparisons are case-insensitive.


Syntax

result=expression1 <= expression2

PartTypeDescription
result Boolean Returns True if expression1 is less than or equal to expression2.
expression1 String, Number, or Date Any alphabetic or quantitative expression.
expression2 String, Number, or Date Any alphabetic or quantitative expression.


Notes

A string is "less than" another string if it is first when the two strings are sorted alphabetically. Use StrComp to do a case-sensitive String comparison.

You can use Operator_Compare to define comparisons for classes.


Examples

This example uses the <= operator to evaluate a and b.

Dim a,b as Integer
If Editfield1.text <> "" and EditField2.text <> "" then
a= Val(Editfield1.text)
b= Val(EditField2.text)
If a<=b then
MsgBox "A is less than or equal to B!"
else
Beep
end if
else
MsgBox "Please enter values into both boxes!"
end if

The following example tests whether a FolderItem is Nil before assigning it to the Movie property of a MoviePlayer control.

Dim f As FolderItem
f= GetOpenFolderItem("video/quicktime")
If f<> Nil then
  MoviePlayer1.movie=f.OpenAsMovie
End if
