DwtInitGetSegment(3Dwt)
Name
DwtInitGetSegment − Returns the initialized context of the compound-string.
Syntax
int DwtInitGetSegment(context, compound_string)
DwtCompStringContext *context;
DwtCompString compound_string;
Arguments
contextSpecifies a context to be filled by this function. You should have previously allocated this context.
compound_string
Specifies the compound-string.
Description
The DwtInitGetSegment function returns the initialized context associated with the compound-string you specified (compound_string). You must use this returned context in a call to DwtGetNextSegment.
Note that the performance of DwtInitGetSegment (used in conjunction with DwtGetNextSegment to fetch multiple segments from a compound-string) has degraded from Version 1.0 of the toolkit.
A new function, DwtStringInitContext, not only provides better performance, it also creates the context structure that you must allocate separately when using DwtInitGetSegment. To improve performance, convert calls from DwtInitGetSegment to DwtStringInitContext, and use DwtStringFreeContext to free the context structure when you are finished with it.
Return Value
This function returns one of these status return constants:
| DwtSuccess | Normal completion. |
| DwtEndCS | The string specified in compound_string is NULL. |
| DwtFail | The string specified in compound_string is not a compound-string. |
