WpSaveData

This instance method is called to allow an object to save its binary instance data.

Syntax

_wpSaveData(somSelf, pszClass, ulKey, pValue, cbValue);

Parameters

somSelf (WPObject *) - input

Pointer to the object on which the method is being invoked.

Points to an object of class WPObject.

pszClass (PSZ) - input

Pointer to the class name.

A pointer to a zero-terminated string that contains any unique string. The class name is recommended but not enforced.

ulKey (ULONG) - input

Class-defined identifier.

A class-defined identifier that correlates to a particular instance data variable.

pValue (PBYTE) - input

Address of the block of data to be stored.

cbValue (ULONG) - input

Size of the block of data to be stored.

Return Code

rc (BOOL) - returns

Success indicator.

• TRUE Successful completion.
• FALSE Error occurred.

Remarks

The saved data can be restored by issuing a call to wpRestoreData.

How to Override

This method is generally not overridden.

Usage

This method can be called only during the processing of the wpSaveState method.

Calling Sequence

#define INCL_WINWORKPLACE
#include <os2.h>

WPObject     *somSelf;   /*  Pointer to the object on which the method is being invoked. */
PSZ           pszClass;  /*  Pointer to the class name. */
ULONG         ulKey;     /*  Class-defined identifier. */
PBYTE         pValue;    /*  Address of the block of data to be stored. */
ULONG         cbValue;   /*  Size of the block of data to be stored. */
BOOL          rc;        /*  Success indicator. */

rc = _wpSaveData(somSelf, pszClass, ulKey, pValue, cbValue);

Example Code

In this example, wpSaveState is overridden to save instance data from the OS2.INI file.

#define WPNBK_KEY        1

/*  Instance method to return title information */

SOM_Scope PSZ   SOMLINK UserGetTitle(nbk *somSelf)
{
    nbkData *somThis = nbkGetData(somSelf);
    nbkMethodDebug("nbk","UserGetTitle");

    return (PSZ) _title;
}

/* Override of wpSaveState to save our instance data in OS2.INI */

SOM_Scope BOOL   SOMLINK wpSaveState(nbk *somSelf)
{
    PSZ  psz;

    nbkData *somThis = nbkGetData(somSelf);
    nbkMethodDebug("nbk","wpSaveState");

    psz = _UserGetTitle ( somSelf );    /* Get data to be saved */

    /* Save our data to the OS2.INI file  */

     _wpSaveData ( somSelf              /* Pointer to us */
                 , "nbk"                /* Class name */
                 , WPNBK_KEY            /* Key for data */
                 , psz                  /* Pointer to data */
                 , 40 );                /* Length of data  */

    return (parent_wpSaveState(somSelf));  /* Let parent store data */
}
