In Xojo 2014 Release 1 there is now an If operator that can return a result.

Xojo 2014 Release 1 includes several IDE improvements to general performance, the Inspector, tabs and auto-complete.

Is this a bug?

When creating multi-platform apps, you are often going to be working with a variety of operating systems. Take advantage of Remote Debugging and make your life a lot easier!
