Get valid byte, short, or long choice value from driver.

Declaration:

 
Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_ISIS_choice_get_long(
        HISISDRV hDriver,
        AT_MODE nTag,
        WORD wIndex,
        LPLONG lplValue
);

Arguments:

Name Type Description
hDriver HISISDRV The handle to the driver.
nTag AT_MODE The tag for which a valid byte, short, or long integer value is being requested.
wIndex WORD An index to a particular element of the array of valid tag values.
lplValue LPLONG A pointer to a buffer that will contain the result of IG_ISIS_choice_get_long.

Return Value:

Error count.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

This function does not process image pixels.

Remarks:

The IG_ISIS_choice_get_long function fills in lplValue with the value referenced by wIndex from tag nTag.

This function must be used only for tags which have a type of IG_ISIS_TAG_TYPE_BYTE, IG_ISIS_TAG_TYPE_SHORT, or IG_ISIS_TAG_TYPE_LONG. Use the IG_ISIS_tag_get_type function to determine the type of a tag.

The IG_ISIS_choice_get_count function can be used to determine the total number of legal values for a tag. wIndex must be at least 0 and at most the value returned by IG_ISIS_choice_get_count - 1. The constants IG_ISIS_CHOICE_LOW and IG_ISIS_CHOICE_HIGH can be used to retrieve the 0th and nth values of a list or range; however, keep in mind that a list must be sorted from low to high values for these constants to return the actual low and high values of the list. Also, IG_ISIS_CHOICE_STEP can be used if the flag IG_ISIS_CONT_RANGE is set. The value returned by IG_ISIS_choice_get_long using a wIndex value of IG_ISIS_CHOICE_STEP is the difference between any two consecutive values.
