GetText Method (IArguments)


SpreadsheetGear.CustomFunctions Namespace > IArguments Interface : GetText Method
Returns the argument specified by the zero based index as a string. Note that this method has the side effect of converting a range or array to a single value.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Function GetText( _
   ByVal index As System.Integer _
) As System.String
'Usage
 
Dim instance As IArguments
Dim index As System.Integer
Dim value As System.String
 
value = instance.GetText(index)
System.string GetText( 
   System.int index
)

Parameters

index
Remarks

Non-text arguments are converted to text if possible. Otherwise, a zero length string is returned by this method, and an internal flag is set indicating that an error has occurred, causing the result of the formula to be an error.

Note that this method has the side effect of converting a range or array to a single value. Use GetArrayDimensions and GetArrayValue to get the dimensions and values of a range or array.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
