IActiveScriptStringCompare::StrComp

Defines the string comparison method for the scripting engine.

Syntax

HRESULT StrComp(  
// The first string:  
    [in] BSTR bszStr1,    
// The second string:   
    [in] BSTR bszStr2,    
// The result of the comparison:  
    [out, retval] LONG* iRet   
);  

Parameters

bszStr1
The first string.

bszStr2
The second string.

iRet
The result of the comparison. 0 if bszStr1 and bszStr2are identical; -1 if bszStr1 < bszStr2; 1 if bszStr1 > bszStr2.

Return Value

Returns one of the following values:

Return Value Meaning
S_OK Success.
E_INVALIDARG An argument is not valid.
E_UNEXPECTED The call was not expected (for example, the scripting engine has not yet been loaded or initialized).

Remarks

This method is called every time that a string comparison is executed.

Example

The following example shows how to overload the string comparison function. Overloading is allowed when you use IActiveScriptProperty::SetProperty to set SCRIPTPROP_STRINGCOMPAREINSTANCE.
