result = Cbyte( numeric expression )
result = Cbyte( string expression )
result = Cbyte( user defined type )
result = Cbyte( string expression )
result = Cbyte( user defined type )
Parameters:
expression
A numeric, string, or pointer expression to cast to a Byte value.
datatype
Any numeric, string, or pointer data type.
typename
A user defined type.
Return Value:
A Byte value.
Description:

If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by using Valint.

Examples:
' Using the CBYTE function to convert a numeric value
'Create an BYTE variable
Dim numeric_value As Byte
'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CByte(-66.30)
'Print the result, should return -66
Print numeric_value
Sleep
'Create an BYTE variable
Dim numeric_value As Byte
'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CByte(-66.30)

Print numeric_value
Sleep
