Re: Operator_Compare with variant objects?

[Michael Diehr <md03@xochi.com>]

(a side note):

The LR is a bit confusing:

Issue 1:  it lists
  Variant.Operator_Compare(v) as integer

  yet this code won't compile:
    dim v1,v2 as variant
    if v1.Operator_Compare(v2) = 0 then ...


Issue 2:  it says

"Variant.Operator_Compare(v) as integerUsed to define all the  
comparison operators for the Variant.  If Operator_Compare is defined,  
it is called whenever any of the comparison operators are used to  
compare the Self instance of the class with another instance. The  
following comparison operators are covered: =, <, >, <=, >=, <>.  
Operator_Compare returns an integer whose meaning is as follows: <0  
means that Self is less than the passed parameter, 0 means that Self  
is equal to the passed parameter, and >0 means that Self is greater  
than the passed parameter"
I'm not sure what this means.  Is this relevant for subclassing a  
variant or something?   Can you subclass a variant?  If so, I wonder  
if that would solve my problem?
