vba test if specific bits are set in int32 code example

Example 1: excel vba are bits set in byte

'Fast VBA function to test if specific bits are set 
'within a Byte. If ALL specified bits are set then this function
'returns True. If ANY of the specified bits are not set then
'this function returns False.

'Bits are numbered from 0 to 7, so the first (least significant) bit
'is bit 0.

'Note: bits can be specified in any order.

    Static i&, b() As Byte
    If UBound(bits) = -1 Then Exit Function

        For i = 0 To 7

        Next
    End If
