Flag that indicates how the Data Set will be evaluated. Possible values are: |
|
|
|
Value |
Meaning |
|
|
TRUE |
Evaluate the Data Set as a tree. |
|
|
FALSE |
Evaluate the Data Set as a list. |
Returns
|
!NULL |
A pointer to a DICOMELEMENT structure that contains the first item in the Data Set with the specified key element type. |
|
NULL |

Comments
If the Data Set is evaluated as a tree structure, this function returns the first item on the same level as pElement with the same parent as pElement, that has key element type pszKey.
For the sake of these illustrations, the order of siblings is top to bottom. Therefore first is evaluated top to bottom.
Please note that the numbering of the items of interest in this first illustration is arbitrary and does not imply order.
|
If the passed pointer points to : |
The function returns a pointer to : |
|
Item 1 |
The first sibling (same level, same parent) of Item 1 that has the key element type pszKey, if such an item exists. If such an item does not exist, the function returns NULL. |
|
Item 2 |
The first sibling (same level, same parent) of Item 2 that has key element type pszKey, if such an item exists. If such an item does not exist, the function returns NULL. |
|
Item 3 |
The first sibling (same level, same parent) of Item 3 that has key element type pszKey, if such an item exists. If such an item does not exist, the function returns NULL. |
If the Data Set is evaluated as a list, this function returns the first item in the entire list that has key element type pszKey. The search begins at the top of the list.
For the sake of these illustrations, the order of siblings is top to bottom. Therefore first is evaluated top to bottom.
Please note that the numbering of the items in this illustration does indicate the order of the items when the Data Set is evaluated as a list.
|
If the passed pointer points to : |
The function returns a pointer to : |
|
Item 1 |
The first item in the list that has key element type pszKey, if such an item exists. Searching begins at the top of the list. If an item with key element type pszKey is not found, NULL is returned. |
|
Item 14 |
The first item in the list that has key element type pszKey, if such an item exists. Searching begins at the top of the list. If an item with key element type pszKey is not found, NULL is returned. |
|
Item 22 |
The first item in the list that has key element type pszKey, if such an item exists. Searching begins at the top of the list. If an item with key element type pszKey is not found, NULL is returned. |
