Compares two object references to determine whether they both refer to the same object.
Notes
Syntax
result=object1 Is object2
Part | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
result |
Any container expecting a Boolean value. |
|
object1 |
Any object name. |
|
object2 |
Another object name. |
The Is operator returns True if object1 and object2 actually refer to the same object. It checks identity, not contents, so it is not affected by the presence of a comparison operator. Use it the same way as the = operator.
Example
In the following example, the Is operator returns True.
Dim w1,w2 as Window
w1=Window1
w2=Window1
If w1 Is w2 then
//do something here
Else
//do something else here
End if
w1=Window1
w2=Window1
If w1 Is w2 then
//do something here
Else
//do something else here
End if
