Extracts seconds information from a standard time value.
$seconds(time)| time | an 8-digit number, or an expression that evaluates to an 8-digit number, expressing valid time in the form HHMMSSTT |
Number.
The system variable $Time is often used for time.
$seconds($Time)
Evaluates to 59 when $Time has the value 23595999.
Determines which exponent of base 10 yields a given value.
$log10(number)| number | a positive number or an expression that evaluates to a positive number |
Number, with the same number of decimal places as number.
let var1=$log10(100)
The above expression means “the exponent of base 10 that yields the value 100” and evaluates to 2.
Determines which exponent of the natural base (e) yields a given value.
$log(number)| number | a positive number or an expression that evaluates to a positive number |
Number, with the same number of decimal places as number.
$log(7.389)
The above expression means “the exponent of the natural base that yields the value 7.389” and evaluates to 2.000.
Extracts “hours” information from a standard time value.
$hours(time)| time | an 8-digit number, or an expression that evaluates to an 8-digit number, expressing valid time in the form HHMMSSTT |
Number.
The system variable $Time is often used for time.
$hours($Time)
Evaluates to 23 when $Time has the value 23595999.
Calculates the hyperbolic sine of a number.
$sinh(number)| number | a number, or an expression that evaluates to a number, representing an angle (in radians) |
Number, with the same number of decimal places as number.
This function calculates the hyperbolic sine of a number.
let vAngle = $sinh(3.000)
Evaluates to 10.018.
Calculates the hyperbolic cosine of a number.
$tanh(number)| number | a number, or an expression that evaluates to a number, representing an angle (in radians) |
Number, with the same number of decimal places as number.
This function calculates the hyperbolic tangent of a number.
let vAngle = $tanh(3.000)
Evaluates to 0.995.
Returns the number of the disk file associated with a specified object.
$filenum(objname)| objname | The name of an EntitySet, relationship, application directory, or application document. |
For EntitySets, relationships, and application directories, $filenum returns the number associated with the file that contains the specified object.
For application documents, $filenum returns the number associated with the file that contains the application directory in which the application document was created.
Set the properties of an ActiveX object.
$ObjSet[Property] (Object, PropertyName, <>)
| Object | an object variable or formfield of type OLE |
| PropertyName | a string or an expression that evaluates to a string |
| PropertyValue | one or more strings, expressions or variables |
Returns a result of TRUE if successful.
This syntax can be used to set basic or extended properties of an ActiveX component.
Assume you have a form called treeview with a treeview component on it called tree.
Assume vResult is a variable of type char 1. The syntax to direct the Treeview component to display lines among sibling nodes, parent nodes and the root node is
let vResult = $ObjSetProperty (treeview.tree, 'linestyle', 1)
COM objects are being discontinued by Microsoft and may not be available in future releases of Zim-X.
Converts a number to a monetary format.
$money(number)| number | a number, or an expression that evaluates to a number |
Number, with two decimal places.
Use $money to convert a number into a monetary number (i.e., with two decimal places). Number is rounded if necessary.
$money(101.325+48.674)
Evaluates to 150.00.
Extracts “ticks” information from a standard time value.
$ticks(time)| time | an 8-digit number, or an expression that evaluates to an 8-digit number, expressing valid time in the form HHMMSSTT |
Number.
The system variable $Time is often used for time.
With operating systems whose clocks do not support hundredths of a second, $ticks($Time) evaluates to 0, because the last two digits of $Time are always zeros.
$ticks($Time)
Evaluates to 99 when $Time has the value 23595999.
