Constructor Detail

ExternalStringPointer

public ExternalStringPointer()

Creates a null string pointer and sets its character encoding to CharacterEncoding.Unicode.

ExternalStringPointer

public ExternalStringPointer(boolean unicode)

Deprecated. use ExternalStringPointer(CharacterEncoding) constructor instead.

Creates a null string pointer with specified encoding.

Parameters:

unicode - true specifies that the pointer refers to a unicode string; false to an ANSI string

ExternalStringPointer

public ExternalStringPointer(CharacterEncoding encoding)

Constructs a null string pointer with specified encoding.

Parameters:

encoding - specifies the character encoding of a string

ExternalStringPointer

public ExternalStringPointer(long handle)

Creates a string pointer by the specified address.

Parameters:

handle - specifies the address of a string

ExternalStringPointer

public ExternalStringPointer(long handle,
                             boolean unicode)

Deprecated. use ExternalStringPointer(long, CharacterEncoding) constructor instead

Creates a string pointer by the specified address.

Parameters:

handle - specifies the address of a string

unicode - true if the pointer refers to a unicode string; false to an ANSI one

ExternalStringPointer

public ExternalStringPointer(long handle,
                             CharacterEncoding encoding)

Creates a string pointer by the specified address and character encoding.

Parameters:

handle - specifies the string address

encoding - specifies character encoding of a string

ExternalStringPointer

public ExternalStringPointer(Pointer.Void handle,
                             CharacterEncoding encoding)
