LDicomNet::SendCFindRequest

Show in webframe

#include "ltdic.h"

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

L_UCHAR nPresentationID;

/* presentation ID */

L_UINT16 nMessageID;

/* message ID */

L_TCHAR * pszClass;

/* class type */

L_UINT16 nPriority;

/* priority of the message */

LDicomDS * pDS;

/* data set to be found */

Sends a C-FIND-REQ message to a peer member of a connection. This function is available in the PACS Imaging Toolkit.

Parameter

Description

nPresentationID

Presentation ID. The presentation ID provides information about both the class type of the data and the transfer syntax to use when transferring the data.

nMessageID

Message ID. Each message sent by a member of a connection should have a unique ID. Since a member of a connection may send several messages, this ID allows that member to identify when a specific request has been completed.

pszClass

Class affected by the request. This will be an SOP Class or an SOP MetaClass.

nPriority

The priority level of the message. The Service Class Provider may or may not support priority. Therefore, setting this parameter may or may not have any effect. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

COMMAND_PRIORITY_LOW

[0x0002] Low priority message.

 

COMMAND_PRIORITY_MEDIUM

[0x0000] Medium priority message.

 

COMMAND_PRIORITY_HIGH

[0x0001] High priority message.

pDS

Pointer to the data set to be found.

Returns

0

SUCCESS

>0

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Calling this function generates a call to LDicomNet::OnReceiveCFindRequest on the SCP. The SCP should respond by calling LDicomNet::SendCFindResponse which will generate a call to LDicomNet::OnReceiveCFindResponse.

You must create a data set and insert elements corresponding to the data you wish to find. A pointer to this data set is then passed as a parameter to this function.

   //that support the Study Root Query/Retrieve Information Model - FIND SOP Class
   //The results are displayed  as each result s received in the NetReceiveCStoreRequest event
   //
   //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
   //5. An association exists between the client and server
