Searches for a global function in one or more PocketBuilder libraries (PKLs) or PowerBuilder libraries (PBLs) and provides information about the script definition.
PocketBuilder applications
This function can be used only in the development environment.
It cannot be used in applications deployed to a Pocket PC or Smartphone
device.
FindFunctionDefinition ( functionname {, librarylist } )
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
functionname |
The name of a global function for which you want information. |
librarylist (optional) |
An array of strings whose values are the fully qualified pathnames of PKLs or PBLs. If you omit librarylist, FindFunctionDefinition searches the library list associated with the running application. |
ScriptDefinition. Returns an object reference with information about the script of functionname. If any arguments are null, FindFunctionDefinition returns null.
You can call FindClassDefinition to get a class definition for a global function. However, the ScriptDefinition object provides information tailored for functions.
This example searches the libraries for the running application to find the function definition for f_myfunction:
ScriptDefinition sd_myfunc
sd_myfunc = FindFunctionDefinition("f_myfunction")
This PowerBuilder example searches the libraries in the array ls_libraries to find the class definition for w_genapp_frame:
ScriptDefinition sd_myfunc
string ls_libraries[ ]
ls_libraries[1] = "c:\pwrs\bizapp\windows.pbl"
ls_libraries[2] = "c:\pwrs\framewk\windows.pbl"
ls_libraries[3] = "c:\pwrs\framewk\ancestor.pbl"
sd_myfunc = FindFunctionDefinition( &
"f_myfunction", ls_libraries)
