WriteBool Method

Applies to TestComplete 14.40, last modified on April 22, 2021

Description

The WriteBool method writes a Boolean value to a binary file (starting from the current cursor position).

Declaration

aqBinaryFileObj.WriteBool(Value)

aqBinaryFileObj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to an aqBinaryFile object
Value [in]    Required    Boolean    
Result Boolean

Applies To

The method is applied to the following object:

aqBinaryFile

Parameters

The method has the following parameter:

Value

Specifies the Boolean value to write.

Result Value

True if the value has been written successfully; false otherwise.

Remarks

  • On success, the cursor position is shifted by the length of the written data.

  • To use this method, you should open the needed file with the faWrite or faReadWrite access permission. See the description of the OpenBinaryFile method.

Example

The code below opens a file for reading, posts its data to the test log in different formats (binary, boolean, and so on) and then closes the file.
