UF_TEXT_ask_text_mode (view source)
Defined in: uf_text.h
Overview
This routine returns the current text mode for a user function program.
This routine is provided to let the user function programmer know what the mode is
so that it can be changed temporarily and then reset as needed.

UF_TEXT_copy_nchars (view source)
Defined in: uf_text.h
Overview
Copy a string to a given byte count and a number of characters based
on the internal NX encoding for strings. This will ensure the string is
appropriately sized for calls to other UF function calls.
This is designed to work with multibyte characters to support all languages.
If passed a NULL it will return an error. If the internal NX
string representation exceeds either the number of bytes or the number of
characters, the string will be terminated after the last full character
that ensures the string is both less than the number of bytes and less
than the number of characters. The value returned will indicate whether
the copy was successful or not.
This routine is designed to work with the new UF definitions that now
specify a character and byte count limitation.

UF_TEXT_count_characters (view source)
Defined in: uf_text.h
Overview
Count the number of characters in a string. This is designed to work
with multibyte characters to support all languages. If passed a NULL
string the count will be returned as zero, same as if the string was empty.

UF_TEXT_load_translation_file (view source)
Defined in: uf_text.h
Overview
This routine allows the programmer to load a translation file that will be
used to translate strings from English into the users native language. This
file will be used in addition to the standard ugii.lng that contains the
translations for NX messages and dialogs.
The Open API programmer is responsible for creating this file using the
NLDMGR tool as described in the NX Internationalization and
Localization online help.

| const char * | file | Input | This is the complete path to the file to be loaded. When
NX displays the user interface, it will use the
contents of this file to try and translate strings into
the users language.
Translation strings that exist in the NX language
file found in $UGII_LANGUAGE/ugii.lng will always be used
first. If a translation is not found in that file, then
this file will be searched. |
UF_TEXT_set_text_mode (view source)
Defined in: uf_text.h
Overview
This routine sets the text mode for a user function program. UF_initialize
defaults the text mode to UF_TEXT_LOCALE. This routine is provided to let the
user function programmer change the default behavior. When text strings are
returned in the locale, International characters may be lost, if they exist in
the part.

UF_TEXT_translate_string (view source)
Defined in: uf_text.h
Overview
This routine allows the programmer to translate a C string
from English into the users native language. The strings to translate
should be contained in the file loaded using UF_TEXT_load_translation_file.
If no translation is found the original string is used.

Overview
This routine allows the programmer to translate a C string
from English into the users native language. The strings to translate
should be contained in the file loaded using UF_TEXT_load_translation_file.
If no translation is found the original string is used. You must use UF_free
to deallocate space used by xstring.

UF_TEXT_truncate (view source)
Defined in: uf_text.h
Overview
Truncate a string to a given byte count and a number of characters based
on the internal NX encoding for strings. This will ensure the string is
appropriately sized for calls to other UF function calls.
This is designed to work with multibyte characters to support all languages.
If passed a NULL it will return success. If the string is shorter than
the number of characters passed and the number of bytes passed then no
action will be taken and success will be returned. If the internal NX
string representation exceeds either the number of bytes or the number of
characters, the string will be terminated after the last full character
that ensures the string is both less than the number of bytes and less
than the number of characters. The logical returned will indicate whether
the input string was changed or not.
This routine is designed to work with the new UF definitions that now
specify a character and byte count limitation, e.g.
error = UF_TEXT_truncate(filespec, MAX_FSPEC_BUFSIZE, MAX_FSPEC_NCHARS, &trunc);
will make sure a filespec is appropriately sized for UF_CFI calls.
