Compiling an @Formula in Visual Basic (by Kenneth Haggman, 03/07/2007 04:23:38 AM) |  |
Mate, I have really tried but I can't get this to work.
Honestly, I am not the sort of person who goes screaming for help as soon as something gets a bit tricky. But this time I am stuck.
I have reached the following conclusions/assumtions:
1. NSFFormulaCompile will need the input string to be LMBCS.
2. I will need to allocate a buffer and lock some memory.
3. I will also need to unlock and free the memory after use.
But I am getting so confused as to what is what!
I am attempting to compile a view selection formula that has been extracted from a view (using COM and notesView.SelectionFormula) into a plain VB string.
This string is, if I understand it correctly, in 'native' format (neither unicode nor LMBCS) and can't be used directly in the NSFFormulaCompile API.
So a buffer needs to be allocated and locked - how?
The OSTranslate API (or perhaps the NLS_Translate API) needs to be used - but how should the API be declared and how should it be called?
As you can see, I am all lost.
I would greatly appreciate any VB-converted code you can produce, hopefully as complete as possible.
