Bug? NativeObject with BOOL as return type

[stevel05]

These return 1 for true and 0 for false, the IDE complains that Types Do Not Match when testing for 0 or 1. (But it works)

Should probably return True or False for consistency.

Example:

 

[Erel]

There is no real boolean type in objective c. It is a simple number field. You need to help the compiler here:

Dim b As Boolean = SVNO.GetField("..")
If b Then Return

 

[stevel05]

I just tried it, b is false whether the returned value is 0 or 1

 

[Erel]

You are correct.
This code will correctly convert the value:

Sub GetBoolean(no As NativeObject, field As String) As Boolean
   Dim b As Object = no.GetField(field)
   Return b
End Sub

NativeObject.GetField returns a wrapped object. By assigning it to a variable of type object we can get the real object (number in this case). Then we convert it to boolean.

OK Thanks, is there any harm in just testing for 0 and 1, even though the IDE complains?

 

[Erel]

hough the IDE complains?

No.
