IsSameStruct

See Also: Struct, Structured Types

Purpose

Used to determine if two structs are the same in all but name.

Return Type

Boolean

Syntax

(IsSameStruct({Struct1Id}, {Struct2Id}))

Parameters

• {Struct1Id}: The id of the first struct to compare.
• {Struct2Id}: The id of the second struct to compare.

What it Does

Returns True if the two structs are the same. They are considered the same if they are of the same type and contain the same content.

Examples

Example 1

This example shows that two structs of the same type are the same after just being instantiated. At this point, the two structs' types and content (they are both empty) are the same.

Struct tCustomer
    Integer iId
    String sName
End_Struct

Procedure Test
    tCustomer Cust1 Cust2
    If (IsSameStruct(Cust1, Cust2)) Begin
        Send Info_Box "Both structs are the Same"
    End
    Else Begin
        Send Info_Box "Both structs are NOT the Same"
    End
End_Procedure

Example 2

This example shows that two structs of the same type are no longer the same after data was moved to one, but not the other.

Struct tCustomer
    Integer iId
    String sName
End_Struct

Procedure Test
    tCustomer Cust1 Cust2
    Move 1 to Cust1.iId
    Move "Smith" to Cust1.sName
    If (IsSameStruct(Cust1, Cust2)) Begin
        Send Info_Box "Both structs are the Same"
    End
    Else Begin
        Send Info_Box "Both structs are NOT the Same"
    End
End_Procedure
