| IObject: ToString |
Returns a string representation of the current object.
Public Function ToString ( ) As String
ToString is the major formatting method in VBCorLib. It converts an object to its string representation so that it is suitable for display.
A default implementation of the ToString method would be to call the MyBase.ToString method as the following example shows.
Implements IObject Public Function ToString() As String ToString = MyBase.ToString(Me, App) End Function ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ' IObject Implementation ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Private Function IObject_ToString() As String IObject_ToString = ToString End Function
Types commonly implement the ToString method to return a string that represents the object instance. For example, the types such as CorDateTime, and StringBuilder provide ToString implementations that return the string form of the value that the object represents. The following example defines a class, Class2, that customizes the ToString method to return the type name along with its value.
Implements IObject Public Value As Variant Public Function ToString() As String ToString = MyBase.ToString(Me, App) & ": " & Object.ToString(Value) End Function ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ' IObject Implementation ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Private Function IObject_ToString() As String IObject_ToString = ToString End Function
