Bitflags Used by Specific Commands
The behavior of a number of functions in the Source Control Plug-in API can be modified by setting one or more bits in a single value. These values are known as bitflags. The various bitflags used by the Source Control Plug-in API are detailed here, grouped by the function that uses them.
Checked Out Flag
This flag can be set for either the SccAdd Function or SccCheckin Function.
Flag |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
SCC_KEEP_CHECKEDOUT |
0x1000 |
Keep the file checked out. |
Add Flags
These flags are used by the SccAdd Function.
Flag |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
SCC_FILETYPE_AUTO |
0x00 |
The source control plug-in is expected to automatically detect whether the file is text or binary. |
SCC_FILETYPE_TEXT |
0x01 |
File type is text. |
SCC_FILETYPE_BINARY |
0x04 |
File type is binary. .gif) Note:
SCC_FILETYPE_TEXT and SCC_FILETYPE_BINARY flags are mutually exclusive. Set exactly one or neither.
|
SCC_ADD_STORELATEST |
0x02 |
Store latest version only (no deltas). |
Diff Flags
The SccDiff Function uses these flags to define the scope of a diff operation. The SCC_DIFF_QD_xxx flags are mutually exclusive. If any one of them is specified, then no visual feedback is to be given. In a "quick diff" (QD), the plug-in does not determine how the file is different, only if it is different. If none of these flags is specified, a "visual diff" is done; detailed file differences are computed and displayed. If the requested QD is not supported, the plug-in moves to the next best one. For instance, if the IDE requests a checksum, and the plug-in does not support it, the plug-in does a full-contents check (still much faster than a visual display).
Flag |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
SCC_DIFF_IGNORECASE |
0x0002 |
Ignore case differences. |
SCC_DIFF_IGNORESPACE |
0x0004 |
Ignore white-space differences. Note:
The SCC_DIFF_IGNORECASE and SCC_DIFF_IGNORESPACE flags are optional bitflags.
|
SCC_DIFF_QD_CONTENTS |
0x0010 |
QD by comparing entire file contents. |
SCC_DIFF_QD_CHECKSUM |
0x0020 |
QD by checksum. |
SCC_DIFF_QD_TIME |
0x0040 |
QD by file date/time stamp. |
SCC_DIFF_QUICK_DIFF |
0x0070 |
This is a mask used to check all the QD bitflags. It should not be passed into a function; the three QD bitflags are mutually exclusive. QD always means no display of UI. |
PopulateList Flag
This flag is used by the SccPopulateList Function in the fOptions parameter.
Flag |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
SCC_PL_DIR |
0x00000001L |
The IDE is passing directories, not files. |
PopulateDirList Flags
These flags are used by the SccPopulateDirList Function in the fOptions parameter.
Option Value |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
SCC_PDL_ONELEVEL |
0x0000 |

Option Value |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|

SCC_OP_SILENTOPEN |
0x00000002L |
Do not prompt user to create a project; just return SCC_E_UNKNOWNPROJECT. |

Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|

The IDE is passing directories, not files: Get all files in these directories. |
SCC_GET_RECURSIVE |
0x00000002L |
The IDE is passing directories: Get these directories and all their subdirectories. |
