Members

wStructSize

Size, in bytes, of the structure.

dwWidth

Width, in characters, of the column.

szName

Null-terminated string specifying the name of the field.

wStorage

Storage type. This member can be one of these values:

SO_CELLBCD8I	Packed BCD excess-63.
SO_CELLEMPTY	The cell is empty.
SO_CELLERROR	The cell has an error condition.
SO_CELLIEEE4I	IEEE 4-byte in Intel (PC) ordering.
SO_CELLIEEE8I	IEEE 8-byte in Intel (PC) ordering.
SO_CELLIEEE10I	IEEE 10-byte in Intel (PC) ordering.
SO_CELLINT32S	32-bit signed integer.
SO_CELLINT32U	32-bit unsigned integer.
SO_FIELDTEXTFIX	The field contains a string of fixed length.
SO_FIELDTEXTVAR	The field contains a string of unknown length.

wDisplay

Display type. For more information, see the wDisplay member in the SODATACELL structure.

dwSubDisplay

Display subtype. For more information, see the dwSubDisplay member in the SODATACELL structure.

wPrecision

Precision or positioning value. For more information, see the wPrecision member in the SODATACELL structure.

If wStorage is the SO_FIELDTEXTFIX value, this member specifies the number of characters in the string.

wAlignment

Alignment of data in the cell. This member can be the SO_CELLLEFT, SO_CELLRIGHT, or SO_CELLCENTER value.
