CharLower

The CharLower function converts a character string or a single character to lowercase. If the operand is a character string, the function converts the characters in place. This function supersedes the AnsiLower function.

VB4-32,5,6
Declare Function CharLower Lib "user32" Alias "CharLowerA" (ByVal lpsz As String) As String

VB.NET
System.String.ToLower

Operating Systems Supported
Requires Windows NT 3.1 or later; Requires Windows 95 or later

Library
User32

Parameter Information
- lpsz
Pointer to a null-terminated string or specifies a single character. If the high-order word of this parameter is zero, the low-order word must contain a single character to be converted.

Return Values
If the operand is a character string, the function returns a pointer to the converted string. Since the string is converted in place, the return value is equal to lpsz.

If the operand is a single character, the return value is a 32-bit value whose high-order word is zero, and low-order word contains the converted character.

There is no indication of success or failure. Failure is rare.
