(4) This one's for Larry. Bitwise operators require the types to be bitwise.
In VB6 only byte, Integer and Long are bitwise numerics. You can't do
bitwise operations directly on a Decimal type: a conversion, implicit or
otherwise, is required to one of the bitwise types first.
(5) Also for Larry: True is 16 bit. Boolean is 16 bit.





I then showed you that Decimals can use bitwise operators,
so you change that to:



Read 4 again. You can't do bitwise operatiosn directly on a Decimal.




The native type for VB6 is 32 bits. It would be more
likely that 'True' starts out as a native type, than for any
other type. I can't prove it does, any more than you can
prove it doesn't, yet you know for sure, because you say
so....


Geewizz Larry, didn't I show you what happens when you assign True to a Variant ? Are you ignoring that because it doesn't fit with what you want to believe ? How about CopyMemory then ?

Dim x As Long
CopyMemory x, True, 4

Oh look... it's 16 bit.


You have been showing such blatent arrogance in your
responses that I have lost interest in discussing it with you
any further.


That's a very inappropriate response Larry, especially given how wrong you have been.
