Description

ipContainer

ITcVnContainer

Container of type ContainerType_Vector_String_SINT

nIndex

ULINT

Index of the requested element

sText

STRING

Make sure to choose a sufficient STRING size! The required size can be determined using the function VnExportSubContainerSize.

nMaxLength

ULINT

Maximum string length to export (including 0 termination). If the container content is longer, the string is cut off at nMaxLength - 1 and 0 termination is appended. In this case, S_FALSE is returned.

Application

The function F_VN_ExportSubContainer is used, for example, to obtain the result text in the case of Code Reading:

hr := F_VN_ReadPharmaCode(ipImage, ipDecodedText, hr);
IF hr = S_OK THEN
    hr := F_VN_ExportSubContainer_String(ipDecodedText, 0, sCodeAsString, 255, hr);
    // sCodeAsString contains the result
END_IF
