CHString::Collate method (chstring.h)

[The CHString class is part of the WMI Provider Framework which is now considered in final state, and no further development, enhancements, or updates will be available for non-security related issues affecting these libraries. The MI APIs should be used for all new development.]

The Collate method uses the wcscoll function to compare a CHString string with another string.

Syntax

int Collate(
  LPCWSTR lpsz
);

Parameters

lpsz

The other string used for comparison.

Return value

The Collate method returns the following values.

Remarks

The Collate method performs a case-sensitive comparison of the strings according to the code page currently in use.

Examples

The following code example shows how to use CHString::Collate:

CHString str1 = L"co-op";
CHString str2 = L"con";

int n;

// collation uses language rules, such as ignoring dashes
n = str1.Collate(str2);
assert(n > 0);

// comparison is a strict ASCII comparison with no language rules
n = str1.Compare(str2);
assert(n < 0);
