HiWords and LoWords from Long Values
When translating C code to VB, you quite often come across the HiWord and LoWord operators, used to pack two integers into a long value. A simple translation of HiWord code will run into difficulties when unsigned integer arithmetic is being
used in the C code and the highest bit of the long value can be set. Since VB doesn注释:t support unsigned arithmetic we have to strip out the high bit and add it back again later to avoid overflows and misleading results.
(当把C代码翻译到VB时,你经常会遇到高字和低字的操作,通常是把两个整型值合成一个长整型。当在C代码中使用了无符号整型,这最高一位是可以被设置的,因此简单的直接转换高字将会遇到困难。由于VB不支持无符号算术符,我们只好剥去这最高一位,在稍后再把它加回来,以避免溢出和错误的结果。)
Start a new project then add a class module. Add the following code to the module:
(开始一个新工程,增添一个类模块。把以下代码写入模块:)
Public Property Get LoWord(ByRef lThis As Long) As Long
LoWord = (lThis And &HFFFF&)
End Property
Public Property Let LoWord(ByRef lThis As Long, ByVal lLoWord As Long)
lThis = lThis And Not &HFFFF& Or lLoWord
End Property
Public Property Get HiWord(ByRef lThis As Long) As Long
If (lThis And &H80000000) = &H80000000 Then
HiWord = ((lThis And &H7FFF0000) / &H10000) Or &H8000&
Else
HiWord = (lThis And &HFFFF0000) / &H10000
End If
End Property
Public Property Let HiWord(ByRef lThis As Long, ByVal lHiWord As Long)
If (lHiWord And &H8000&) = &H8000& Then
lThis = lThis And Not &HFFFF0000 Or ((lHiWord And &H7FFF&) * &H10000) Or &H80000000
Else
lThis = lThis And Not &HFFFF0000 Or (lHiWord * &H10000)
End If
End Property
调用时,假定类模块取名CHiLo
Dim chl As New CHiLo
Dim a As Long
chl.LoWord(a) = &HFFFF0
chl.HiWord(a) = &HFFFF1
Me.Caption = Hex(a)
如此便可以正确无误地将高字和低字合成在一起。
