Why isn't this working?

[Spht]

Never ever ever check a bitmask with =

Well thanks, I'm not a VB programmer, I do C/Java/C#, so I wouldn't know.  It was intended more to point him in the right direction.    When I check bitmasks in C#, I go:

Code Select Expand


if ( (flags & (int)UserFlags.Squelched) == UserFlags.Squelched)
 // assign squelched icon
else if ( (flags & (int)UserFlags.Moderator) == UserFlags.Moderator)
 // give it the gavel.

etc.

Same concept...
