Syntax |
object Is [object | Nothing] |
Description |
Returns True if the two operands refer to the same object; returns False otherwise. |
Comments |
This operator is used to determine whether two object variables refer to the same object. Both operands must be object variables of the same type (i.e., the same data object type or both of type Object).
The Nothing constant can be used to determine whether an object variable is uninitialized: If MyObject Is Nothing Then MsgBox "MyObject is uninitialized." Uninitialized object variables reference no object. |
Example |
This function inserts the date into a Microsoft Word document. Sub InsertDate(ByVal WinWord As Object) Sub Main() |

Notes |
When comparing OLE automation objects, the Is operator will only return True if the operands reference the same OLE automation object. This is different from data objects. For example, the following use of Is (using the object class called excel.application) returns True: Dim a As Object |
|
The following use of Is will return False, even though the actual objects may be the same: Dim a As Object The Is operator may return False in the above case because, even though a and b reference the same object, they may be treated as different objects by OLE 2.0 (this is dependent on the OLE 2.0 server application). |
