Show in webframe

#include "ltwrappr.h"

static L_INT LVectorDialog::GetString(uString, pString)

L_UINT32 uString;

/* index of a string */

L_TCHAR * pString;

/* pointer to the variable to be updated */

Gets the current string for the specified index.

Parameter

Description

uString

Index into a list of strings. For a list of the strings, refer to Dialog Strings.

pString

Pointer to the buffer to be updated with the current string.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Before calling this function, call LVectorDialog::GetStringLen to get the length of the text you want to retrieve.

Use LVectorDialog::SetString to modify the automated menu item.

Before calling this function, you must declare a variable as a pointer to a character string. Then, pass the variable in the pString parameter. This function will update the variable with the character string at the given index.

This example will set a custom font and string for the rotate dialog.
