AutoOffset - property of the PmBuffer object

Description:

The internal automated positioning in the data block works automatically (but can also be set in the script).

Syntax:

Long AutoOffset

Note:

Property access for read and write.

At the beginning (with the creation of of the PmBuffer object) the value of this property is set to 0.

After each successfull read/write operation of a value in the data block, this property is automatically set to the end (behind) yhe read/written value (to the next read/written value).
This can be used either for continuous value reading/writing or for detecting the number of read/written bytes by the difference of the value of this property before the operation and after the operation.

The read/write position is available in the form of the nOffset parameter in each method working with the data block (e.g. GetUint8, SetInt16), where the -4 value means that the value of this internal positioning AutoOffset is used.

Example:

JavaScriptSelect and copy to clipboard



var oBuf = Pm.CreatePmBuffer();

var s1 = "40302010605070";

oBuf.SetHexaString(-2, s1);

oBuf.AutoOffset = 0;
  // Writing into the property

var val1 = oBuf.GetInt32(-4);

var val2 = oBuf.GetInt16(-4);

var val3 = oBuf.GetUint8(-4);

var nAutoOffset = oBuf.AutoOffset;
  // Reading from the property, nAutoOffset = 7
