What is the equivalent to the sizeoff(variable) in C

I think what you're looking for is LEN()

There really is no sizeof in VB.


For example:

Dim X as String
Dim Y as Long
X="abcdefg"
Y=Len(X)
'Y will equal 7


Cheers!

Also, if you have the following:

Dim Z as Long
Z=32768

if you do: len(Z) you will always get 4 because it takes 4 bytes to store a long number...

if you do len(cstr(Z)) you will get 5, because there are 5 characters in "32768"


Cheers!
 5
 4
 4
?zz
 0
zz=32767

I need to find the sizeof of a UDT to pass to my C API

LenB will return size in bytes.
MsgBox LenB(yourUDT)
