SysStringLen (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
This function retrieves the length of a string.
Syntax
UINT SysStringLen(
BSTR bstr
);
Parameters
- bstr
[in] Unicode string that was allocated previously.
Return Value
The number of characters in bstr, not including a terminating null character, indicates success.
If the bstr parameter is null, 0 (zero) is returned.
Remarks
The returned value can be different from _fstrlen(bstr) if the following occurred:
- If BSTR was allocated with SysAllocStringLen, SysReAllocStringLen, or SysAllocStringByteLen
- If the passed-in characters included a null character in the first cch characters
For a BSTR allocated with SysAllocStringLen, SysAllocStringLen, or SysAllocStringByteLen, the SysStringLen function retrieves the number of characters specified in the cch parameter at allocation time.
Windows Embedded CE only supports Unicode strings.
Passing invalid (and under some circumstances NULL) pointers to this function causes an unexpected termination of the application.
