WHex

Returns the hexadecimal WString (Unicode) representation of a number

Syntax
   Declare Function WHex ( ByVal number As UByte ) As WString
   Declare Function WHex ( ByVal number As UShort ) As WString
   Declare Function WHex ( ByVal number As ULong ) As WString
   Declare Function WHex ( ByVal number As ULongInt ) As WString
   Declare Function WHex ( ByVal number As Const Any Ptr ) As WString

   Declare Function WHex ( ByVal number As UByte, ByVal digits As Long ) As 
   WString
   Declare Function WHex ( ByVal number As UShort, ByVal digits As Long ) As
   WString
   Declare Function WHex ( ByVal number As ULong, ByVal digits As Long ) As 
   WString
   Declare Function WHex ( ByVal number As ULongInt, ByVal digits As Long ) 
   As WString
   Declare Function WHex ( ByVal number As Const Any Ptr, ByVal digits As 
   Long ) As WString

Usage
   result = WHex( number [, digits ] )

Parameters
   number
      A whole number or expression evaluating to a whole number.
   digits
      Optional number of digits to return.

Return Value
   Returns a hexadecimal WString representation of number, truncated or 
   padded with zeros ("0") to fit the number of digits, if specified.

Description
   Hexadecimal digits range from 0-9, or A-F.

   If you specify digits > 0, the resulting WString will be exactly that 
   length.  It will be truncated or padded with zeros on the left, if 
   necessary.

   The length of the wstring will not go longer than the maximum number of 
   digits required for the type of expression (8 for a Long, 16 for 
   floating point or LongInt)

Example
   Print Hex(54321)
   Print Hex(54321, 2)
   Print Hex(54321, 5)

   will produce the output:
   D431
   31
   0D431
