SGMLValueToString Function

Overview

The SGMLValueToString function converts a structured parameter value (pvalue) to a string within the context of the current element.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = SGMLValueToString ( dword pvalue, [handle hSGML], [dword token] )

Parameters

pvalue

A dword specifying a structured parameter value (can also be defined as a PVALUE).

hSGML

An optional handle to an SGML object. If omitted, only fixed values may be processed.

token

A dword specifying a reference HTML attribute or CSS property token. This value is required if the structure is PT_KEYWORD type.

Return Value

A string containing the translated value or an empty string on error. The value can be empty if the pvalue specifies a string which happens to be empty. Use the GetLastError and IsError functions to differentiate between an error and an empty string.

Remarks

This function operates in two modes: as a simple structured parameter value conversion and as a heap based conversion. The former does not require an SGML object. For any operation that requires a heap (strings, errors, arrays), an SGML object must be supplied with a value heap area.

Any items marked as PT_KEYWORD must have a token context.

Measurements are generally in 100ths of units except for inches which are 10000ths.

Errors processed by this function will return a string with “(error-description)”. The description may not be present if the underlying error is not set.
