WeekdayName Function (VB6) |
WeekdayName(WeekdayNo, [abbreviate [, FirstDayOfWeek]])
WeekdayNo
Use: Required
Data Type: Long
The ordinal number of the required weekday from 1 to 7.
abbreviate
Use: Optional
Data Type: Boolean
Specifies whether to return the full day name or an abbreviation.
FirstDayOfWeek
Use: Optional
Data Type: vbDayOfWeek constant
Specifies which day of the week should be first.
A String
Returns the real name of the day.
WeekDayNo must be a number between 1 and 7, or the function generates runtime error 5, "Invalid procedure call or argument."
If FirstDayOfWeek is omitted, WeekdayName treats Sunday as the first day of the week.
WeekdayName with abbreviate set to False is the equivalent of Format (dateval, "dddd").
WeekdayName with abbreviate set to True is the equivalent of Format (dateval, "ddd").
You'd expect that, given a date, WeekDayName would return the name of that date's day. But this isn't how the function works. To determine the name of the day of a particular date, combine WeekDayName with a call to the WeekDay function, as the following code fragment shows:
sDay = WeekDayName(Weekday(dDate, iFirstDay), _ bFullName, iFirstDay)
Note that the value of the FirstDayOfWeek argument must be the same in the calls to both functions for WeekDayName to return an accurate result.
