Convert Boolean to String with Inno Setup
[Code]
function BoolToStr(Value : Boolean) : String;
begin
if Value then
result := 'true'
else
result := 'false';
end;
or
[Code]
function IsDowngradeUninstall: Boolean;
begin
Result := IsCommandLineParamSet('downgrade');
if Result then
MsgBox('IsDowngradeUninstall = True', mbInformation, MB_OK)
else
MsgBox('IsDowngradeUninstall = False', mbInformation, MB_OK);
end;
If you need it once only, the easiest inline solution is to cast the Boolean
to Integer
and use the IntToStr
function. You get 1
for True
and 0
for False
.
MsgBox('IsDowngradeUninstall = ' + IntToStr(Integer(Result)), mbInformation, MB_OK);
Though, I usually use the Format
function for the same result:
MsgBox(Format('IsDowngradeUninstall = %d', [Result]), mbInformation, MB_OK);
(Contrary to Delphi) The Inno Setup/Pascal Script Format
implicitly converts the Boolean
to Integer
for %d
.
If you need a more fancy conversion, or if you need the conversion often, implement your own function, as @RobeN already shows in his answer.
function BoolToStr(Value: Boolean): String;
begin
if Value then
Result := 'Yes'
else
Result := 'No';
end;
