NSFItemLongCompare

Function : Item (Field)

NSFItemLongCompare - Compare (long) item to a given (long) value.

#include <nsfnote.h>
BOOL LNPUBLIC NSFItemLongCompare(

    NOTEHANDLE  note_handle,
    const char far *item_name,
    long  long _value,
    int far *result_ptr);

Description :

This function takes a handle to an open note, the name for the TYPE_NUMBER Item whose value you wish to compare, the (long) value to be used in the comparison. It returns a int whose value indicates the result of the comparison: -1 if item (long) is greater, 0 if they are equal, and 1 if item (long) is less.

Parameters : Input : note_handle - A handle to an open note in memory.

item_name - The address of a null-terminated Item name.

long _value - A (long) value you wish to compare with a NUMBER item in the open note. All values of TYPE_NUMBER are stored in IEEE floating point format, so the NUMBER item is first coerced into a (long), and then that value (minus the decimal fraction) is used in the comparison.

Output : (routine) - Always returns FALSE.

result_ptr - The address of the int containing outcome of the comparison: -1 means the NUMBER item is larger, 0 means they are equal, and 1 means the NUMBER item is smaller.

Sample Usage :

/* Compare  ULONG in Note to another value */

ulong_num2 = 3430000L;
printf("Is ULONG in Note equal to %lu ?\n", ulong_num2);
if (NSFItemIsPresent(note1_handle, ULONG_ITEM,strlen(ULONG_ITEM)))
{
   NSFItemLongCompare(note1_handle, ULONG_ITEM,
                          (long) ulong_num2, &answer);
   if (answer == 0)
      printf("Answer: %s\n", "YES YES YES!");
   else if(answer != 0)
      printf("Answer: %s\n", "Nooooooooo!");
