Input String is wrong format

[lairdre]

The following code fails at runtime on version 5, with the error message "Input string is wron format" What does this mean? Under version 4 of b4ppc property returned the string "LAN, GPRS, WI-FI,RAS,or blank"

What changed? Do we now need to cast the return to a sting some how?

Thanks,
Ron

property = getSelection()

Sub getSelection
x = cBBn.SelectedIndex
Select x
Case 0
media = "LAN"
Case 1
media = "GPRS"
Case 2
media = "Wi-Fi"
Case 3
media = "RAS"
Case -1
media = "blank"
End Select
return media
End Sub

You should write: property = getSelection
As there are no arguments.

That was the problem. The answer was also right in the documentation

"Subs syntax starts with "Sub SubName (Parameters)" and ends with "End Sub".If there are no parameters for the sub, then write "Sub SubName" without the parenthesis.There are no functions in Basic4ppc but instead every sub can return a value with the keyword "Return""

Thanks,
