What VB6 method allows two custom objects of the same type (defined in a class module) to be compared to each other? I think there’s an equivalent to Java’s compareTo method, but I can’t find it anywhere.

For others who may be wondering about the same question:
After doing a lot of looking around, it seems like VB6 doesn’t have any kind of built-in
compareToorequalsmethods, like Java does.I forgot that in Java,
compareTois defined in thejava.lang.Comparableinterface. Since interfaces are so broken in VB6, even if you wrote your ownComparableinterface, you would have to call your object’sComparable_compareTomethod unless it was declared asComparable, which is pointless.Bottom line: if you want
compareToorequalsmethods in your VB6 classes, just put them in.
