WriteData Method

Object List

Defined By: BinaryFile

Description:

Writes to the currently open file handle (property "Handle"), that has been previously opened by a call to Open, OpenReadOnly, or Create.

Declaration:

Function WriteData(ByVal buffer As Object) As Long

Details:

The argument specifies the DataBuffer object to use for writing. The Size of the DataBuffer determines how many bytes will be written to the file. If the "buffer" argument is a valid DataBuffer, the return value is the number of bytes actually written, otherwise (for an invalid argument) it is -1. If the address referred to by the DataBuffer’s Data property is not valid for reading, an exception is thrown.
