?? Select Case True ??

somebody recently told me that Select Case True is valid syntax and can be used as in the following.

Code:

---

Public Function Latitude(Y As Double,  X As Double) As Double

'Function returns Radians in range -Pi/2 to Pi/2 (-90 to 90 degrees)
'Quandrant assumed to be determined by sign of Y.
'X assumed to be positive. Abs Function used to force positive value.
'Hpi = Pi/2  Qpi = Pi/4  (90 & 45 degrees)

Select Case True
    Case Abs(X) > Abs(Y)
        Latitude = Atn(Y / Abs(X))
    Case Abs(X) < Abs(Y)
        Latitude = Hpi - Atn(Abs(X) / Y)
    Case X = 0
        Latitude = 0
    Case Else
        Latitude = Qpi '45 degrees
  End If

End Function

I am going to try it. Does anybody know if this is going to work?

It looks cleaner that ElseIf constructs.

What happens if more than one condition is met?

That statement is correct.

An example:

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Select Case True
        Case 9 < 5
            Print "one"
        Case 5 < 9
            Print "two"
    End Select
End Sub

Or

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim a As Boolean, b As Boolean
b = True
 
    Select Case True
        Case a
            Print "one"
        Case b
            Print "two"
    End Select
 
End Sub

Then only the first condition that is met will be executed.

Bruce Fox: Thanx for your reply. If I discover otherwise, I will post again. Meanwhile, I assume that two bright people cannot be wrong when they agree.

It will be a while before I actually try it.
