FieldFromParameters Function

Overview

The FieldFromParameters function creates a field string on-the-fly without a Field Object by taking a list of properties and converting it into a field tag.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = FieldFromParameters ( string data[] );

Parameters

data

A string array containing the field type and the parameters to create the field.

Return Value

A string containing the field tag or an empty string on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve a formatted error code.

The code ERROR_SYNTAX indicates that the field key name in the data parameter is not ‘Field’. The code ERROR_RANGE indicates that the parameter for field name is not known. The lower byte of the formatted error code will contain the key index that is causing the error.

Remarks

The data parameter must be formatted with each key name being a known properties name. The first entry must be ‘Field’ with a known field type name. For example:

string      list[20];
string      s1;
int         rc;
        
list["Field"] = "Set";
list["Name"] = "File";
list["Value"] = "abc.txt";
        
s1 = FieldToParameters(list);
rc = GetLastError();
        
AddMessage("Result : 0x%08X", rc);
AddMessage("Result : %s", s1);
