Conversion Functions

GB.Conv	Converts a Gambas value.
GB.NumberFromString	Converts a string into a number.
GB.NumberToString	Converts a number into a string.
GB.ConvString	Converts a string from one charset to another charset.

Overview

These functions give you access to the Gambas conversion functions.

• GB.NumberFromString is an equivalent of Val, Hex$, Bin$, CInt or CLong.

• GB.NumberToString is an equivalent of Str or CStr.

• GB.ConvString is an equivalent of Conv$.

• GB.Conv is an equivalent of datatype conversion functions: CBool, CInt, CStr, CDate...

You should use GB.NumberFromString and GB.NumberToString instead of C / C++ library functions if you want your component to be coherent with the Gambas syntax.
