LDicomNet::SendCGetRequest

#include "ltdic.h"

L_INT LDicomNet::SendCGetRequest(nPresentationID, nMessageID, pszClass, nPriority, pDS)

Sends a C-GET-REQ message to a peer member of a connection. This function is available in the Medical Suite Toolkit.

Returns

Comments

Calling this function generates a call to LDicomNet::OnReceiveCGetRequest on the SCP. The SCP should respond by calling LDicomNet::SendCGetResponse which will generate a call to LDicomNet::OnReceiveCGetResponse.

You must create a data set and insert elements corresponding to the data you wish to find. The data set returned will include the entire data set that includes the requested data.

Example

{
   //This example sends an C-Get Request to a server
   //In this example:
   //
   //1. LMyDicomNet is a class derived from LDicomNet; 
   //2. LMyDicomNet has the following member variables:
   //       m_nClientOrServer:  can be (STATUS_NONE, STATUS_SERVER, STATUS_CLIENT)
   //                           identifieds the LMyDicomNet object as a server or a client
   //       m_nDataCommand:     can be (COMMAND_C_MOVE,COMMAND_C_GET) 
   //                           set so the server knows how a C-Store Response was generated
   //
   //3. m_pDicomNet points to a valid LMyDicomNet object
   //      LMyDicomNet *m_pDicomNet

   //4. A connection exists between client and server
