Database Properties

Hi,

I´m using CeReadRecordPropsEx to retrieve some information about
a special database item. The used return value is a CEPROPVAL struct.

It works fine and the function returns probably all existing values for
that item.
But how to find out what the returned values in the .val
parameter represents? What is its meaning?

Its no problem to find out the type of the values but not the meaning
of those values.

And what´s the meaning of the application-defined identifier?


Any hints appreciated and thanks for your time.

Best regards,
Jope

val is:

Actual value for simple types, or a pointer for strings or binary large
objects (BLOBs).

So look at the low word of propid to see what type val is.

If it's application-defined, you'd need to consult with the application
vendor to find out what the val is used for.
