.NET uses True/False, ActiveX uses 1/0

Question:

…regarding some confusion with an IMAP ActiveX method argument:
In FoxPro True doesn’t exist, other than .T. or .F. so sorry for the false report, maybe on the site instead of using true and false use 0 and 1 ??? It’s pretty clear as Long; maybe that is okay for non-typed languages? True and False being 1 and 0 ??

Answer:

I’m sorry for the confusion in the documentation — the docs are generated from the same source for .NET, ActiveX, and C++ components. The "Chilkat standard" is that true/false is 1 and 0 in ActiveX. If at any place in the ActiveX documentation you see True/False mentioned, it should really be 1/0 Long values.
