API Reference Guide > ISIS Component API Reference > ISIS Component Functions Reference > Choice Functions > IG_ISIS_choice_get_ascii

Get a valid ASCII choice value from a driver.

Declaration:

 
Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_ISIS_choice_get_ascii(
        HISISDRV hDriver,
        AT_MODE nTag,
        WORD wIndex,
        LPSTR lpszValue
);

Arguments:

Name Type Description
hDriver HISISDRV The handle to the driver.
nTag AT_MODE The tag for which a valid ASCII value is being requested.
wIndex WORD An index to a particular element of the array of valid tag values.
lpszValue LPSTR A pointer to a buffer that will contain the result of IG_ISIS_choice_get_ascii.

Return Value:

Error count.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

This function does not process image pixels.

Example:

 
Copy Code
WORD wCount, i;
char lpcString[MAXLEN];IG_ISIS_choice_get_count(hDriver, IG_ISIS_TAG_PAGESIZE, &wCount);
  for (i = 0; i < nCount; i++) {                                                     /* add string to list */IG_ISIS_choice_get_ascii_len(hDriver, IG_ISIS_TAG_PAGESIZE, i, &wLength);
    if (wLength <= maxlen)
    {IG_ISIS_choice_get_ascii(hDriver, IG_ISIS_TAG_PAGESIZE, i, lpcString2);
  elsestrcpy(lpcString2, "too long to fit in window");

Remarks:

The IG_ISIS_choice_get_ascii function fills in lpszValue with the string referenced by wIndex from tag nTag.

This function must be used only for tags which have a type of IG_ISIS_TAG_TYPE_STRING. Use the IG_ISIS_tag_get_type function to determine the type of a tag.

wIndex must reference the actual number of legal values defined for a given 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, IG_ISIS_CHOICE_HIGH, and IG_ISIS_CHOICE_STEP are not valid values for wIndex, since RANGE is an invalid branch type for ASCII values.

To determine the required size of lpszValue, use the IG_ISIS_choice_get_ascii_len function. Note that IG_ISIS_choice_get_ascii_len may return a different value for each member of an array of valid values referenced by wIndex.
