Syntax

Engine.CheckExprSyntax( expressionStr, errorDescription, startErrPos, endErrPos)

Return Value

Boolean

Returns True if the syntax is correct. Returns False if the expression contains a syntax error. If this method returns False , check the errorDescription , startErrPos , and endErrPos parameters for more information.

Purpose

Checks the syntax of the expression parameter and returns error information.

Remarks

Calling this method is equivalent to calling the Engine.CheckExpression method and passing a NULL reference to the evaluationContext parameter and passing EvalOption_NoOptions to the evaluationOptions parameter.

Parameters

expressionStr As String

errorDescription As String

[Out] When a syntax error exists, this parameter returns an error message describing the type of error.

startErrPos As Long
