You’ll notice that you get TRUE for every flag, regardless if whether it’s set or not. The reason is that theon mouseUp put "1,2,4,8,16,32" into tFlags put "" into tFlagVals repeat with x = 1 to the number of items of tFlags put Valentina("Field_GetFlag",fldRef,(item x of tFlags)) into line x of tFlagVals end repeat put tFlagVals end mouseUp
item x of tFlags
is retrieving the number as a
STRING and not as a NUMBER, so Valentina is treating it as such.
To make sure you coerce it to a number, add 0 to the result, so item x of tFlags
becomes (item x of tFlags)+0
.
Editors Note 2/13/2006: This tip only applies to Valentina 1.x and has not been tested in 2.x to see if this is still true.
