Detailed Description

Abstract base class for 16-bit descriptors.

The class encapsulates the data member containing the length of data represented by a 16-bit descriptor. It also provides member functions through which the data can be accessed, but not modified.

Data represented by this class is treated as a contiguous set of 16-bit (i.e. double byte) values or data items.

This class cannot be instantiated as it is intended to form part of a class hierarchy; it provides a well defined part of descriptor behaviour. It can, however, be passed as an argument type for functions which want access to descriptor data but do not need to modify that data.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Enum TPrefix

Enumerator	Value	Description
EIsPrefix	0	Indicates that a supplied prefix can be extended to be equivalent to the text at the start of a descriptor.
EMightBePrefix	1	Indicates that a supplied prefix does not seem to be a prefix, but it is possible that it could be extended to become equivalent to text at the start of this descriptor.
EIsNotPrefix	2	Indicates that a supplied prefix cannot be extended to be equivalent to the text at the start of a descriptor.

const [protected]

Compare ( const TDesC16 & )

IMPORT_C TInt

Compare

(

const TDesC16 &

aDes

)

const

Compares this descriptor's data with the specified descriptor's data.

The comparison proceeds on a double-byte for double byte basis. The result of the comparison is based on the difference of the first pair of bytes to disagree.

Two descriptors are equal if they have the same length and content. Where two descriptors have different lengths and the shorter descriptor's data matches the first part of the longer descriptor's data, the shorter is considered to be less than the longer.

Parameter	Description
aDes	The 16-bit non-modifable descriptor whose data is to be compared with this descriptor's data.

Returns: Positive. if this descriptor is greater than the specified descriptor. Negative. if this descriptor is less than the specified descriptor. Zero, if both descriptors have the same length and the their contents are the same.

CompareC ( const TDesC16 & )

IMPORT_C TInt

CompareC

(

const TDesC16 &

aDes

)

const

Compares this descriptor's data with the specified descriptor's data using the standard collation method appropriate to the current locale.

CompareC ( const TDesC16 &, TInt, const TCollationMethod * )

IMPORT_C TInt	CompareC	(	const TDesC16 &	aDes,
			TInt	aMaxLevel,
			const TCollationMethod *	aCollationMethod
		)	const

Compares this descriptor's data with the specified descriptor's data to the specified maximum collation level and using the specified collation method.

If no collation method is supplied, a default method is used that uses a locale-independent collation table. This means that sorting and matching will not be based on the current locale.

This function is only defined for 16-bit (Unicode) build variants. This means that the function is not defined for 8-bit build variants, even when an explicit 16-bit descriptor is used.

Strings may match even if the lengths of their respective descriptors are different.

Parameter	Description
aDes	The 16-bit non-modifable descriptor whose data is to be compared with this descriptor's data.
aMaxLevel	The maximum collation level. This is an integer with values: 0, 1, 2 or 3, which, effectively, determines how 'tight' the matching should be. Level 3 is always used if the aim is to sort strings.
aCollationMethod	A pointer to the collation method or NULL. Collation methods can be retrieved by calls to Mem::CollationMethodByIndex() and Mem::CollationMethodById(). Specifying NULL means that the default method is used.

Returns: Positive, if this descriptor is greater than the specified descriptor. Negative, if this descriptor is less than the specified descriptor. Zero, if the content of both descriptors match.

CompareF ( const TDesC16 & )

IMPORT_C TInt

CompareF

(

const TDesC16 &

aDes

)

const

Compares this descriptor's folded data with the specified descriptor's folded data.

Note that folding is locale-independent behaviour. It is also important to note that there can be no guarantee that folding is in any way culturally appropriate, and should not be used for comparing strings in natural language; use CompareC() for this.

aWildChar	Wild card character which may be specified for aSearchTerm.
aWildSequenceChar	Wild card sequence character which may be specified for aSearchTerm.
aEscapeChar	The escape character, or 0 if there is to be none. The escape character removes any special meaning from the subsequent character.
