Functions

Retrieving the Variable-Length Data From an Item

The functions described in this section allow you to obtain a copy of the variable-length data associated with a specified collection item.

The GetCollectionItem function allows you to retrieve data from an item given its collection tag and collection ID. The GetIndexedCollectionItem function allows you to retrieve data from an item given its collection index.

The GetTaggedCollectionItem function provides another way for you to specify the item whose data you want to retrieve. With this function, you specify the item using the item's collection tag and the item's tag list position. See "Methods of Identifying Collection Items" beginning on page 5-11 for a discussion of collection tags and tag list positions.
