DFX_Text

Transfers CString data between the field data members of a CDaoRecordset object and columns of a record on the data source.

Syntax

      void AFXAPI DFX_Text(
   CDaoFieldExchange* pFX,
   LPCTSTR szName,
   CString& value,
   int nPreAllocSize = AFX_DAO_TEXT_DEFAULT_SIZE,
   DWORD dwBindOptions = AFX_DAO_ENABLE_FIELD_CACHE 
);

Parameters

pFX
A pointer to an object of class CDaoFieldExchange. This object contains information to define the context for each call of the function.
szName
The name of a data column.
value
The value stored in the indicated data member — the value to be transferred. For a transfer from recordset to data source, the value, of type CString, is taken from the specified data member. For a transfer from data source to recordset, the value is stored in the specified data member.
nPreAllocSize
The framework preallocates this amount of memory. If your data is larger, the framework will allocated more space as needed. For better performance, set this size to a value large enough to prevent reallocations.
dwBindOptions
An option that lets you take advantage of MFC's double buffering mechanism for detecting recordset fields that have changed. The default, AFX_DAO_ENABLE_FIELD_CACHE, uses double buffering. The other possible value is AFX_DAO_DISABLE_FIELD_CACHE. If you specify this value, MFC does no checking on this field. You must call SetFieldDirty and SetFieldNull yourself.

Note

You can control whether data is double buffered by default by setting CDaoRecordset::m_bCheckCacheForDirtyFields.

Remarks

Data is mapped between type DAO_CHAR in DAO (or, if the symbol _UNICODE is defined, DAO_WCHAR) and type CString in the recordset.

Example

This example shows several calls to DFX_Text. Notice also the two calls to CDaoFieldExchange::SetFieldType. You must write the first call to SetFieldType and its DFX call. The second call and its associated DFX calls are normally written by the code wizard that generated the class.

void CCustSet::DoFieldExchange(CDaoFieldExchange* pFX)
{
   pFX->SetFieldType(CDaoFieldExchange::param);
   DFX_Text(pFX, _T("Param"), m_strParam);
   pFX->SetFieldType(CDaoFieldExchange::outputColumn);
   DFX_Short(pFX, _T("EmployeeID"), m_EmployeeID);
   DFX_Text(pFX, _T("LastName"), m_LastName);
   DFX_Short(pFX, _T("Age"), m_Age);
   DFX_DateTime(pFX, _T("hire_date"), m_hire_date);
   DFX_DateTime(pFX, _T("termination_date"), m_termination_date);

   CDaoRecordset::DoFieldExchange(pFX);
}
