Sets and returns the comparison mode for comparing string keys in a Dictionary object.
 

Syntax

object.CompareMode[ = compare]

Arguments

object
The name of a Dictionary object. Required.
compare
A value representing the comparison mode used by functions such as StrComp. Optional.

Settings

The compare argument has the following settings:
 

Constant Value Description
vbBinaryCompare
 
0
 
Perform a binary comparison.
 
vbTextCompare
 
1
 
Perform a textual comparison.
 

Remarks

The CompareMode property uses the same values as the compare argument for the StrComp function.
