PA_Dial4DGetString (dialog; variable; string)
Parameter | Type | Description | |
dialog | PA_Dial4D | Dialog reference | |
variable | char* | Name of the variable to access | |
string | char* | Value of the string/text variable |
Description
The routine PA_Dial4DGetString gets the value of a variable whose name is variable as a string in string.
By default, variable and string are null terminated C strings. If you have previously called PA_UsePStrings, the command will expect and return Pascal string.
By default, variable and string use Macintosh characters set on Macintosh, and ANSI characters set under Windows. You can call PA_UseMacCharacters or PA_UseAnsiCharacters to specifically use Macintosh or ANSI characters.
Example
Check if an enterable string variable is empty.
char Dial_IsEmptyString( PA_Dial4D dialog, char *variable ) { char varValue; PA_Dial4DGetString( dialogRef, "theVariable", string ); return (char) varValue[0] == O ? 1 : 0; }
