Also the length of the string is not know because it is a field
read from a database
StrCopy( letter, "A" );
err = Open(); // routine to open database
pForm = FrmGetActiveForm(); // get active form
lsp1 = FrmGetObjectPtr(pForm, FrmGetObjectIndex(pForm, frmList1)); // get id of
list control
nRecordIndex = DmNumRecords(dbPtr); // number of records
for(index =0; index < nRecordIndex; index++) // lets index through database
{
h =DmQueryRecord(dbPtr, index); // lets query each record
p = (Char *) MemHandleLock(h); // lets lock each record
if( 0 == StrNCaselessCompare( letter, p, 1) )
{
// so here is the problem area we are talking about
}
MemHandleUnlock(h); // unlock each record
}
LstSetListChoices(lsp1,strArray,index); // clear list
LstDrawList( lsp1 );
err = CloseDB();
return true;
}
