fields define from struct in vc++ 6.0

hi,
I have struct like this
struct CAdoFieldInfo
{
// The name of field
char m_strName[30];
// the field type
short m_nType;
// The field size
long m_lSize;
// the attributes of field
long m_lAttributes;
// the ordinal position of current field
short m_nOrdinalPosition;
//
BOOL m_bRequired;
BOOL m_bAllowZeroLength;
long m_lCollatingOrder;
};

I want to define my fields like this

{ 'fieldname',adchar,20,YESNO }

how would i achive like this ?

You could do that like

CAdoFieldInfo afi = { "fieldname",adchar,20,YESNO, 42, TRUE, TRUE, MyOrder};

Open in new window

Or, alternatively, you can set the members individually:

CAdoFieldInfo afi;
 
strcpy(afi.m_strName,"fieldname");
afi.m_nType = addchar;
afi.m_lSize = 20;
afi.m_lAttributes = YESNO;
afi.m_nOrdinalPosition = 42;
afi.m_bRequired = TRUE;
afi.m_bAllowZero = TRUE;
afi.m_lCollatingOrder = MyOrder;

CAdoFieldInfo afi = { "fieldname",adchar,20,YESNO, 42, TRUE, TRUE, MyOrder};
is afi holds only one fieldname or set of fields?
like i have 3 coulms in my table fname,lastname,stdno can i do like this
CAdoFieldInfo afi = { "fieldname",adchar,20,YESNO, 42, TRUE, TRUE, MyOrder;
"fieldname2",adchar,20,YESNO, 42, TRUE, TRUE, MyOrder;
"fieldname3",adchar,20,YESNO, 42, TRUE, TRUE, MyOrder;

};

jkr

Fot the latter one, you need an array of structs, e.g.

CAdoFieldInfo afi[3] = 
{
  { "fieldname",adchar,20,YESNO, 42, TRUE, TRUE, MyOrder},
  { "fieldname2",adchar,20,YESNO, 42, TRUE, TRUE, MyOrder},
  { "fieldname3",adchar,20,YESNO, 42, TRUE, TRUE, MyOrder}
};
