ILocalizedDateTimeNames.GetDayShort (METH) ¶ METHOD GetDayShort : CharBufferPtr returns the localized text of the day as short name. If no localization exists, a defaulttext (textid) should be returned. The stored value, the returnpointer is set to, will be overridden by any next call of one of the Get-methods of the implementing functionblock in VisuElemBase. Therefore, the result should be used at once. The pointer should not be stored. InOut: Scope Name Type Comment Return GetDayShort CharBufferPtr Input uiDayOfWeek UINT Day of Week: 1: Monday, 2: Tuesday,.. 7: Sunday

ILocalizedDateTimeNames.GetMonthLong (METH) ¶ METHOD GetMonthLong : CharBufferPtr returns the localized text of the month as whole name. If no localization exists, a defaulttext (textid) should be returned. The stored value, the returnpointer is set to, will be overridden by any next call of one of the Get-methods of the implementing functionblock in VisuElemBase. Therefore, the result should be used at once. The pointer should not be stored. InOut: Scope Name Type Comment Return GetMonthLong CharBufferPtr Input uiMonth UINT the month: 1: January,.. 12: December

ConvertUTF16toUTF8 (FUN) ¶ FUNCTION ConvertUTF16toUTF8 : UDINT This function converts an UTF-16 string to an UTF-8 string (may be wrong for 3 or 4 character encoded UTF8 characters). InOut: Scope Name Type Comment Return ConvertUTF16toUTF8 UDINT Input sourceStart POINTER TO WORD Pointer to the UTF-16 string to convert targetStart POINTER TO BYTE Pointer to the UTF-8 string the converted string shall be stored to dwTargetBufferSize DWORD The size (in bytes) of the buffer (targetStart) the result shall be stored in bStrictConversion BOOL Do not continue on illegal characters

CharBufferString.Capacity (PROP) ¶ PROPERTY Capacity : UINT The size of the buffer (in bytes), where the string is stored.

CharBufferString.CharAt (METH) ¶ METHOD CharAt : BYTE This method returns the character at a specified position. It should be only used to iterate through a string and must not be called for positions after the trailing 0 character. Attention! For instances storing a WSTRING: Valid values are only returned if the character at the given position is an ASCII character InOut: Scope Name Type Comment Return CharAt BYTE Input iPosition INT The position (relative to 1) within the string to check
