XBRLViewGetContextsByElement Function
Overview
The XBRLViewGetContextsByElement function returns all the contexts that contain facts for a specific element.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
string [] = XBRLViewGetContextsByElement ( handle hXBRL, string element );
Parameters
hXBRL
A handle containing the reference to an XBRL Object.
element
A string specifying the element for the facts. The element must contain the namespace designator. For example, “Assets” must be “us-gaap:Assets”.
Return Value
A string array containing each raw fact or an empty set on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve a formatted error code or IsError / IsNotError to determine if an error occurred.
The ERROR_EOD (0x81000000) contains three variations to differentiate between errors:
1 — Element not found.
The ERROR_NONE_MASK can be ANDed to the value to determine which error occurred.
Remarks
An empty string entry indicates a “nil” fact.
The facts may be arbitrarily ordered. Use the XBRLViewGetContextsByElement function to match the context IDs.
Certain fact types such as text can be very large (up to 2MB).
