String :: codingType - Property string coding type

This property holds the string encoding type for the data stored within the string. The default encoding type may differ for different implementation environments. In a C++ environment default coding type is Local8BitString ; in a .NET environment default is UTF16String .

Notes:

In OSI, the string value (name) from the enumerator will be returned rather than the code value.

Return value:  String encoding type ( odaba::StringCodingTypes  )

In case of unknown text encoding type undefinedCoding is used.

Implementation overview

Implementation details

  1. Get string encoding type
    odaba::StringCodingTypes String  :: codingType (  )

    The function returns the current encoding type for the string.

  2. to list
  3. Set encoding type
    odaba::StringCodingTypes String  :: codingType ( odaba::StringCodingTypes eStringCodingType )

    The function sets the encoding type for the string to the value passed in eStringEncodingType . When the encoding type differs from the current string encoding type and the string contains data, string data will be recoded.

    • eStringCodingType - String encoding type

      In case of unknown text encoding type undefinedCoding is used.
