This example shows how you can use the refresh flags to synchronize the contents of a folder with the contents of a data base. somSelf is the pointer to the folder containing the objects corresponding to the items in the data base.
MyObject *Object,*NextObject; /* Mark all existing objects as not found */ Object = (MyObject*)_wpQueryContent(somSelf,NULL,QC_FIRST); while (Object) { _wpSetRefreshFlags(Object,0); Object = (MyObject*)_wpQueryContent(somSelf,Object,QC_NEXT); } /* Loop through the data base. For each item in the data base, find the * corresponding object and call the wpSetRefreshFlags method for the * object to set FOUNDBIT on. For any item that does not have a * corresponding object, create the object and call the wpSetRefreshFlags * method for the new object to set the FOUNDBIT on. */ /***** The code for the above described loop goes here *****/ /* Remove all objects corresponding to data base entries that have been * deleted from the data base */ Object = (MyObject*)_wpQueryContent(somSelf,NULL,QC_FIRST); while (Object) { NextObject = (MyObject*)_wpQueryContent(somSelf,Object,QC_NEXT); ulFlags = _wpQueryRefreshFlags(Object); if (!(ulFlags & FOUNDBIT)) { Object->wpDelete(0); } Object = NextObject; }
