Member Function: TRecordShortField::operator=

TRecordShortField & operator =(const TRecordShortField & right)

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Assignment operator.

Calling Context:

Called when an object is assigned to another compatible object.

Parameters:

const TRecordShortField & right -The field to copy.

Return Value:

Other Considerations:

None.

Member Function: TRecordShortField::operator<<=

virtual TStream & operator <<= (TStream & fromWhere)

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Stream-in operator.

Calling Context:

Called to stream in data.

Parameters:

TStream & fromWhere -The stream the object streams itself in from.

Return Value:

Returns a reference to the stream the object streams itself in from.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

Member Function: TRecordShortField::operator>>=

virtual TStream & operator >>=(TStream & toWhere) const

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Stream-out operator.

Calling Context:

Called to stream out data.

Parameters:

TStream & toWhere -The stream the object streams itself out to.

Return Value:

Returns a reference to the stream the object streams itself out to.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

None.

Member Function: TRecordShortField::GetValue

Purpose:

Sets the value of the field.

Calling Context:

Call this function directly.

Parameters:

const short & value -The new value for the field.

Return Value:

None.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Other Considerations:

None.

Member Function: TRecordShortField::TRecordFieldDeclarationsMacro

TRecordFieldDeclarationsMacro (TRecordShortField, TRecordField)

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

This macro is used to hide a lot of the repetitive coding required to derive from TRecordField. It ensures that the Name() and DescendsFrom() member functions work as specified for TRecordFieldÕs and TRecordFieldHandleÕs.

Calling Context:

Include this macro in this class directly.

Parameters:

TRecordShortField -This class.
TRecordField -The base class of this class.

Return Value:

Implicitly int.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:
