.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function ConvertToSystemValue( _
   ByVal UnitText As String, _
   ByRef ComputedValue As Double _
) As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IUserUnit
Dim UnitText As String
Dim ComputedValue As Double
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.ConvertToSystemValue(UnitText, ComputedValue)
C# 
bool ConvertToSystemValue( 
   string UnitText,
   out double ComputedValue
)
C++/CLI 
bool ConvertToSystemValue( 
&   String^ UnitText,
&   [Out] double ComputedValue
)

Parameters

UnitText

Value to convert

ComputedValue

Converted value in system units

Return Value

TRUE if successful , FALSE otherwise

Remarks

This takes the value directly from a textbox control and passes it in to convert to a double value.

This imitates the behavior of when working in the SolidWorks user interface and passing a value like "10 / 2" into one of the values on a dialog box.
