CDaoParameterInfo Structure

The CDaoParameterInfo structure contains information about a parameter object defined for data access objects (DAO).

Syntax

struct CDaoParameterInfo
{
    CString m_strName;       // Primary
    short m_nType;           // Primary
    ColeVariant m_varValue;  // Secondary
};

Parameters

m_strName
Uniquely names the parameter object. For more information, see the topic "Name Property" in DAO Help.

m_nType
A value that indicates the data type of a parameter object. For a list of the possible values, see the m_nType member of the CDaoFieldInfo structure. For more information, see the topic "Type Property" in DAO Help.

m_varValue
The value of the parameter, stored in a COleVariant object.

Remarks

The references to Primary and Secondary above indicate how the information is returned by the GetParameterInfo member function in class CDaoQueryDef.

The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) don't encapsulate DAO parameter objects in a class. DAO querydef objects underlying MFC CDaoQueryDef objects store parameters in their Parameters collections. To access the parameter objects in a CDaoQueryDef object, call the querydef object's GetParameterInfo member function for a particular parameter name or an index into the Parameters collection. You can use the CDaoQueryDef::GetParameterCount member function in conjunction with GetParameterInfo to loop through the Parameters collection.

Information retrieved by the CDaoQueryDef::GetParameterInfo member function is stored in a CDaoParameterInfo structure. Call GetParameterInfo for the querydef object in whose Parameters collection the parameter object is stored.

CDaoParameterInfo also defines a Dump member function in debug builds. You can use Dump to dump the contents of a CDaoParameterInfo object.
