CX_OBJECT_DICTIONARY_CI

CX_OBJECT_DICTIONARY_CI

Class hierarchy

Description: (Business Pattern)

The class CX_OBJECT_DICTIONARY_CI is suitable for entering pairs of objects and terms independent of the language set (such as barcodes) and is largely the same as the class CX_OBJECT_DICTIONARY, with the only difference being that upper and lower case letters are not distinguished when inserting/searching/deleting in the Dictionary (case insensitive).

However, the dictionary retains the upper/lower case present when the terms are entered. (see GetAllKeys / GetNames).

An object can have any number of identifiers, and any number of objects can be entered in the dictionary per identifier. Conceptually, a dictionary corresponds to a multimap.

To enable the lookup of identifiers for an object (GetNames), a second dictionary is managed internally, which maps the back relation (object 🡒 Identifier).

The multi-language methods EnterML and RemoveML have been introduced for the purpose of a uniform interface. The keys are nevertheless only inserted in one language (current language of the transferred ML_STRINGS).

CX_OBJECT_DICTIONARY_CI belongs to the family of object dictionary classes.

Code example:

Var(dict)
CreateTransObject(CX_OBJECT_DICTIONARY_CI) -> dict

"cx" user dict Call(Enter)

"cx" user dict Call(Exists) // -> TRUE
"CX" user dict Call(Exists) // -> TRUE
"c*" 0 dict Call(Query)     // -> Collection (user)
"cx" user dict Call(Remove)
"c*" 0 dict Call(Query)     // -> empty Collection
