Examples

This example uses the Hex function to return the hexadecimal value of a number.

Dim testHex As String
' Returns 5.
testHex = Hex(5)
' Returns A.
testHex = Hex(10)
' Returns 1CB.
testHex = Hex(459)

Remarks

This module supports the Visual Basic language keywords and run-time library members that convert decimal numbers to other bases, numbers to strings, strings to numbers, and one data type to another.
