EssOtlGetQueryHintSize

Returns the size (in number of members) of the query hints defined on the outline.

Hints are numbered from 1 to n. The first query hint has a hint number of 1. Each new query hint is added to the end of the list, with its number increased by 1.

Syntax

ESS_FUNC_M EssOtlGetQueryHintSize (hOutline, pHintSize);
ParameterData TypeDescription

hOutline

ESS_HOUTLINE_T

Outline context handle (input).

pHintSize

ESS_SHORT_T

Query hint size (output).

Notes

Usually the number of members in a query hint is the same as the number of real dimensions. But if you add or delete dimensions after the hints were added, the number of members in the hMember array might be different than the number of real dimensions. This function returns how large the member array should be in GetQueryHint.

Return Value

Returns 0 if successful.
