XDXCreateDisplayComponent Function

Overview

The XDXCreateDisplayComponent function assembles parameters to create the display component.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = XDXCreateDisplayComponent ( dword flags );

string = XDXCreateDisplayComponent ( string data[] );

Parameters

flags

A dword specifying various bits to create the component. See Remarks below.

data

A string array containing named parameters. See Remarks below.

Return Value

A string containing coded component for an engram or an empty string on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve a formatted error code and GetLastErrorMessage for additional detail.

Remarks

Component parameters can be provided as the bitwise flags or using a string array with named keys. This function is the reciprocal of the XDXGetDisplayFlags and XDXGetDisplayProperties functions, respectively. The flags are as follows:

	Definition			Bitwise		Description
	Display Types
		XDX_DISPLAY_TYPE_MASK		0xF0000000		Type Mask
		XDX_DISPLAY_GENERAL		0x00000000		General (No extra formatting)
		XDX_DISPLAY_CARDINAL		0x10000000		Cardinal Type (five hundred thirty)
		XDX_DISPLAY_CARDINAL_MIX		0x20000000		Cardinal Mixed Type (5.3 hundred)
		XDX_DISPLAY_DATE		0x40000000		Dates (May 3, 2011 or Feb 2011)
		XDX_DISPLAY_ISODURATION		0x80000000		ISO Duration
	Date/Duration Type Flags
		XDX_DISPLAY_ISO_MASK		0x0F000000		ISO Mask
		XDX_DISPLAY_ISO_FULL		0x00000000		Assume Full Duration (3 Years, 6 months)
		XDX_DISPLAY_ISO_YEARS		0x01000000		Assume Years (ie 3 -> 3 Years)
		XDX_DISPLAY_ISO_MONTHS		0x02000000		Assume Months (ie 3 -> 3 Months)
		XDX_DISPLAY_ISO_WEEKS		0x03000000		Assume Weeks (ie 3 -> 3 Weeks)
		XDX_DISPLAY_ISO_DAYS		0x04000000		Assume Days (ie 3 -> 3 Days)
		XDX_DISPLAY_ISO_HOURS		0x05000000		Assume Hours (ie 3 -> 3 Hours)
	Partial Types
		XDX_DISPLAY_PERCENT		0x00100000		Is Percent (x100)
	Additional Formatting
		XDX_DISPLAY_NONEFORZERO		0x00000001		None for 0 (None in text)
		XDX_DISPLAY_NOFORZERO		0x00000002		No for 0 (No in text)
		XDX_DISPLAY_DASHFORZERO		0x00000004		- for 0 (- is normally nil)
		XDX_DISPLAY_NOCOMMAS		0x00000008		No Commas in number
		XDX_DISPLAY_USENEGATIVE		0x00000010		Use Negative Sign instead of parans
		XDX_DISPLAY_INVERT		0x00010000		Invert Value

 

The key names are as follows:

	Definition		Description
	type		Type of display, can be: general — General (No extra formatting) cardinal — Cardinal Type (“five hundred thirty”) cardinal_mixed — Mixed Type (“5.3 hundred”) date — Dates (“May 3, 2011” or “Feb 2011”) duration — ISO Duration (“Three Months”)
	duration		If the type is date or duration, the value can be: full — Full duration (1 year, 6 months) years — Duration in years (2 years) months — Duration in months (6 months) weeks — Duration in weeks (2 weeks) days — Duration in days (5 days) hours — Duration in hours (12 hours) This key name will not be present if the type is not relevant.
	percent		This key name will be present and the value “true” is associated value is a percentage.
	none_for_zero		This key name will be present and the value “true” is associated number represented by “none”.
	no_for_zero		This key name will be present and the value “true” is associated number represented by “no”.
	dash_for_zero		This key name will be present and the value “true” is associated number represented by “-” or a dash.
	no_commas		This key name will be present and the value “true” is associated value numeric without commas.
	use_negative		This key name will be present and the value “true” is associated numeric uses a ‘-’ sign rather than ( ) to indicate a negative number.
	invert		This key name will be present and the value “true” is associated numeric value with the sign flipped.

 

If the returned string is empty, it is likely an error occurred.

The reciprocal functions are XDXGetDisplayProperties and XDXGetDisplayFlags.
