The following example illustrates the use of the
CompareMethod method.
JScript
function TestCompareMode(key)
{
// Create some variables.
var a, d;
var BinaryCompare = 0, TextCompare = 1;
d = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary");
// Set Compare mode to Text.
d.CompareMode = TextCompare;
// Add some keys and items.
d.Add("a", "Athens");
d.Add("b", "Belgrade");
d.Add("c", "Cairo");
return(d.Item(key));
}
VBScript
Dim d
Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
d.CompareMode = vbTextCompare
d.Add "a", "Athens" ' Add some keys and items.
d.Add "b", "Belgrade"
d.Add "c", "Cairo"
d.Add "B", "Baltimore" ' Add method fails on this line because the
' letter b already exists in the Dictionary.
PowerBASIC
DIM d AS IDictionary
DIM vKey AS VARIANT
DIM vItem AS VARIANT
d = NEWCOM "Scripting.Dictionary"
d.CompareMode = %CompareMethod_TextCompare
vKey = "a" : vItem = "Athens"
d.Add vKey, vItem
vKey = "b" : vItem = "Belgrade"
d.Add vKey, vItem
vKey = "c" : vItem = "Cairo"
d.Add vKey, vItem
' Add method fails on this line because the
' letter b already exists in the Dictionary.
vKey = "B" : vItem = "Baltimore"
d.Add vKey, vItem
