WDX: Return a blank value

[petergus]

Hi!

Content plugin problem!

How return a nil (blank value) if my field type is ft_numeric_32?

I created a function that deal with folders only, how can I prevent
any values being shown on files.

Return ft_fieldempty constant or ft_fileerror in ContentGetValue function. In this case no matter what you write into FieldValue.

I tried ft_fieldempty, but I only get a -3 value in TC.

What if you try the simpliest implementation of ContentGetValue? Here is an example in C++:

Code: Select all

int __stdcall ContentGetValue(char* FileName, int FieldIndex, int UnitIndex,
                              void* FieldValue, int maxlen, int flags)
{
    return ft_fieldempty;
}

What does TC show in this case?

Yes, that worked. But I have found that the example I found here:
http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=5808
is wrong.

Anybody see what's wrong?

Can you give a hint where exactly in the example can be found?

You can found the example in a reply by franck8244, the last entry in the
thread.

Something is wrong with the ContentGetValue Function, if I use anyone of
the constants ( ft_fieldempty ) TC show the value not, in this case, hide the field.

What is the difference between an empty field and a blank value?

It doesn't matter which field type has been returned in ContentGetSupportedField. Just return ft_fieldempty as shown in http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=54848#54848
