ShowFeeds2 Method (Utility Control)
Windows - Visual C++

Description
The ShowFeeds2 method displays a dialog box containing news feeds for selection. The dialog box contains Full View and Current View option buttons that enable the user to choose the view in which to apply the search.

Syntax
long result = ShowFeeds2();

The ShowFeeds2 syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
Result	Return value. A long integer containing 0 if the user clicked the OK button and -1 if the user clicked the Cancel button.

Remarks
After ShowFeeds2 is called, the chosen feed names are accessed through the GetSelectedFeed method, and the number of chosen feeds is stored in the GetSelectedFeedCount property. Note that these properties are only valid if the return value from ShowFeeds2 is 0.

The Full View and Current View option buttons enable the user to choose the view in which to apply the search. The ViewType property contains the search type selected in the "Apply To" group (1 = Full View, 2 = Current View). The DisableViewType property allows you to disable a view type option button.

The Full View option enables the user to perform the search on all stories in the NewsEdge Server database. No other search criteria is incorporated into the search. For example, if the user brings up the ShowFeeds2 dialog box to select the news feed "AP" and chooses Full View, the user will see all stories from the "AP" news feed.

The Current View option enables the user to perform the search on the current set of stories in the Headline View. For example, if the user performs a ticker search on <MSFT> and then brings up the ShowFeeds2 dialog box to select the news feed "AP" and chooses Current View, the user will see stories about Microsoft from the "AP" news feed.
