CreateSearchCriterion Method (Utility Control)
Windows - Visual C++

Description
The CreateSearchCriterion method creates a search string from the user-supplied attributes. This search string is used to set the Headline control SearchCriteria property.

Syntax
long result = CreateSearchCriterion(long type, LPCTSTR inputString);

The CreateSearchCriterion syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
type	A long integer containing the type of the inputString parameter, as described in Remarks.
inputString	A String containing the text for the search criterion as described in Remarks.
result	Return value. A long integer containing 0 if successful and 1 if not.

Remarks
The value of the input string depends on the value of the type parameter as follows:

Type	Input String Contains:	nobjcode.bas
0	Word(s) and/or phrase(s)	CCT_WORDS
1	Ticker code(s)	CCT_CODE
2	Subject codes(s)	CCT_SUBJECT

The resulting search string is stored in the SearchString property. The SearchString property is used to set the Headline control's SearchCriteria property.
