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.

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)
