About this chapter...

This chapter describes ITK's conversion routines for text, pictures, files, dates and blobs.

Note:

Internet Config routines are not supported in the Windows version of ITK.

ITK_ICCountKeys

Syntax:

nbKeys := ITK_ICCountKeys

Description:

Returns the number of Internet Config keys currently defined.

Params:

In/Out

Parameter

Type

   

Example or note

<-

nbKeys

Longint

Number of keys defined

   

Example: 

For ($i;1;ITK_ICCountKeys)
  $keyType := ITK_ICGetIndKey($i)
End For

ITK_ICGetIndKeys

Syntax:

icKey := ITK_ICGetIndKey (index)

Description:

Returns the Nth key name.

Params:

In/Out

Parameter

Type

   

Example or note

->

index

Longint

Index

from 1 to ITK_ICCountKeys

<-

icKey

String

Key name

will return an empty string if index out of range

Example: 

For ($i;1;ITK_ICCountKeys)
  $keyType := ITK_ICGetIndKey($i)
End For

ITK_ICGetPref

Syntax:

prefValue := ITK_ICGetPref (icKey)

Description:

Returns the preference value string associated with one key.

Note:

This routine is valid for preference values stored as Pascal String (limited to 255 chars)by Internet Config.
For other formats, use the ITK_ICGetRaw routine.

Params:

In/Out

Parameter

Type

   

Example or note

->

icKey

String

Key Name

as returned by ITK_ICGetIndKey.

<-

prefValue

String

Preference value.

will return an empty string if the requested key doesn't exist.

Example: 

$userEmail := ITK_ICGetPref("email")
Back to top

ITK_ICSetPref

Syntax:

error := ITK_ICSetPref (icKey;prefValue)

Description:

Sets an Internet Config preference value string associated to a Key.

Note:

This routine is valid for preference values stored as Pascal String (limited to 255 chars) by Internet Config.
For other formats, use the ITK_ICSetRaw routine.

Params:

In/Out

Parameter

Type

   

Example or note

->

icKey

String

Key to set

You can use one of the existing icKeys or create your own !

->

prefValue

String

Preference Value

   

<-

error

Longint

Result code returned by Internet Config

   

Example: 

$err := ITK_ICSetPref("email";"myname@mydomain.com")
Back to top

ITK_ICGetRaw

Syntax:

prefValue := ITK_ICGetRaw (icKey)

Description:

Returns the preference value associated with one key.

Note:

This routine is valid for preference values not stored as Pascal String by Internet Config.
For Pascal Strings values, use the ITK_ICGetPref routine.

Params:

In/Out

Parameter

Type

   

Example or note

->

icKey

String

Key Name

as returned by ITK_ICGetIndKey.

<-

prefValue

Text

Preference value.

will return an empty value if the requested key doesn't exist.

Example: 

$userEmail := ITK_ICGetRaw("signature")
Back to top

ITK_ICSetRaw

Syntax:

error := ITK_ICSetRaw (icKey;prefValue)

Description:

Sets an Internet Config preference value string associated to a Key.

Note:

This routine is valid for preference values not stored as Pascal String by Internet Config.
For Pascal Strings, use the ITK_ICSetPref routine.

Params:

In/Out

Parameter

Type

   

Example or note

->

icKey

String

Key to set

You can use one of the existing icKeys or create your own !

->

prefValue

Text

Preference Value

   

<-

error

Longint

Result code returned by Internet Config

   

Example: 

$err := ITK_ICSetPref("signature";$sig)
