LlDefineVariable Method

In This Topic

Defines a variable of the type LL_TEXT and its contents.

You should avoid using this function directly - the Variables property offers you a much more powerful way to add data.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Sub LlDefineVariable( _
   ByVal name As String, _
   ByVal value As String _
)

public void LlDefineVariable( 
   string name,
   string value
)

public:
void LlDefineVariable( 
   String^ name,
   String^ value
)

Parameters

name: name of the variable
value: contents of the variable

Remarks

List & Label predefines the following variables:

Variable	Meaning
LL.CountDataThisPage	Numerical, footer field, defined data record per page
LL.CountData	Numerical, footer field, defined data records total
LL.CountPrintedDataThisPage	Numerical, footer field, printed data records per page
LL.CountPrintedData	Numerical, footer field, printed data records total
LL.SortStrategy	String, sort expression
LL.FilterExpression	String, filter expression

The difference between .defined. and .printed. data records is that the user can apply a filter condition to the data records so that with every data record sent from the program the "defined" numbers increase, but not necessarily the "printed" ones (the latter values are only increased if the data record has been printed, that is, matches the filter condition).
