This function formats and stores a series of characters and values in a buffer. The items pointed to by the argument list are converted and copied to an output buffer, according to the corresponding format specification in the format-control string. The function appends a terminating null character to the characters it writes, but the return value does not include the terminating null character in its character count.
Syntax
int wvsprintf(
LPTSTR lpOutput,
LPCTSTR lpFormat,
va_list ArgList
);
Parameters
- lpOutput
[out] Pointer to a buffer to receive the formatted output. The maximum size of the buffer is 1024 characters.
- lpFormat
[in] Pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the format-control specifications. In addition to ordinary ASCII characters, a format specification for each argument appears in this string. For more information about the format specification, see wsprintf.
- ArgList
[in] Variable argument list where each element of the list specifies an argument for the format-control string. The number, type, and interpretation of the arguments depend on the corresponding format-control specifications in the lpFormat parameter.
Return Value
The number of characters stored in the buffer, not counting the terminating null character, indicates success. A value less than the length of the format-control string indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
Windows Embedded CE supports only the Unicode version of wvsprintf.
The function copies the format-control string into the output buffer character by character, starting with the first character in the string. When it encounters a format specification in the string, the function starts with the first argument in the list, and then retrieves the value of the next available argument, and then converts that value into the specified format, and then copies the result to the output buffer. The function continues to copy characters and expand format specifications in this way until it reaches the end of the format-control string. If there are more arguments than format specifications, the extra arguments are ignored. If there are not enough arguments for all of the format specifications, the results are undefined.
