## Detailed Description

Class for string values.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ DSRStringValue() [1/2]

DSRStringValue::DSRStringValue | ( | const OFString & | stringValue,
|  | const OFBool | check = OFTrue )

constructor

Parameters

  stringValue | initial value to be set
  check | if enabled, check 'stringValue' for validity before setting it. See checkValue() for details. An empty value is never accepted.

## ◆ DSRStringValue() [2/2]

DSRStringValue::DSRStringValue | ( | const DSRStringValue & | stringValue | ) |

copy constructor

Parameters

  stringValue | string value to be copied (not checked !)

References DSRStringValue().

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ checkCurrentValue()

OFCondition DSRStringValue::checkCurrentValue | ( |  | ) | const
| protected

check the currently stored string value for validity.

See above checkValue() method for details.

Returns
  status, EC_Normal if value is valid, an error code otherwise

## ◆ checkValue()

virtual OFCondition DSRStringValue::checkValue | ( | const OFString & | stringValue | ) | const
| protected virtual

check the specified string value for validity.

This base class just checks that the string value is not empty (since all corresponding DICOM attributes are type 1). Derived classes should overwrite this method to perform more sophisticated tests.

Parameters

  stringValue | value to be checked

Returns
  status, EC_Normal if current value is valid, an error code otherwise

Reimplemented in DSRDateTimeTreeNode, DSRDateTreeNode, DSRPNameTreeNode, DSRTextTreeNode, DSRTimeTreeNode, and DSRUIDRefTreeNode.

## ◆ clear()

virtual void DSRStringValue::clear | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

clear all internal variables.

Please note that the string value might become invalid afterwards.

Reimplemented in DSRDateTimeTreeNode, DSRDateTreeNode, DSRPNameTreeNode, DSRTextTreeNode, DSRTimeTreeNode, and DSRUIDRefTreeNode.

## ◆ getValue()

const OFString & DSRStringValue::getValue | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

get string value

Returns
  reference to string value

References Value.

## ◆ isEqual()

OFBool DSRStringValue::isEqual | ( | const DSRStringValue & | stringValue | ) | const

check whether values are "equal".

Please note that padding or other non-significant characters are not removed before comparing the two values, i.e. a simple character-by-character comparison is used.

Parameters

  stringValue | string value that should be compared to the current one

Returns
  OFTrue if both string values are equal, OFFalse otherwise

References DSRStringValue().

## ◆ isNotEqual()

OFBool DSRStringValue::isNotEqual | ( | const DSRStringValue & | stringValue | ) | const

check whether values are "not equal".

Please note that padding or other non-significant characters are not removed before comparing the two values, i.e. a simple character-by-character comparison is used.

Parameters

  stringValue | string value that should be compared to the current one

Returns
  OFTrue if both string values are not equal, OFFalse otherwise

References DSRStringValue().

## ◆ isValid()

virtual OFBool DSRStringValue::isValid | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

check whether the current code is valid.

See checkValue() for details.

Returns
  OFTrue if code is valid, OFFalse otherwise

Reimplemented in DSRDateTimeTreeNode, DSRDateTreeNode, DSRPNameTreeNode, DSRTextTreeNode, DSRTimeTreeNode, and DSRUIDRefTreeNode.

## ◆ operator=()

DSRStringValue & DSRStringValue::operator= | ( | const DSRStringValue & | stringValue | ) |

assignment operator

Parameters

  stringValue | string value to be copied (not checked !)

Returns
  reference to this string value after 'stringValue' has been copied

References DSRStringValue().

## ◆ print()

void DSRStringValue::print | ( | STD_NAMESPACE ostream & | stream,
|  | const size_t | maxLength = 0 ) const

print string value.

The output of a typical string value looks like this: "Short text" or "Very long t..." (incl. the quotation marks).

Parameters

  stream | output stream to which the string value should be printed
  maxLength | maximum number of characters to be printed. If the string value is longer the output is shortened automatically and three dots "..." are added. The value of 'maxLength' includes these three trailing char's. A value of 0 turns this mechanism off (default), i.e. the full string value is printed.

## ◆ read()

OFCondition DSRStringValue::read | ( | DcmItem & | dataset,
|  | const DcmTagKey & | tagKey,
|  | const size_t | flags )

read string value from dataset.

If error/warning output is enabled, a warning message is printed if the string value does not conform with the type (1), value multiplicity (1) and/or value representation.

Parameters

  dataset | DICOM dataset from which the string value should be read
  tagKey | DICOM tag specifying the attribute that should be read
  flags | flag used to customize the reading process (see DSRTypes::RF_xxx)

Returns
  status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

## ◆ readXML()

OFCondition DSRStringValue::readXML | ( | const DSRXMLDocument & | doc,
|  | DSRXMLCursor | cursor,
|  | const size_t | flags,
|  | const OFBool | encoding = OFFalse )

read string value from XML document

Parameters

  doc | document containing the XML file content
  cursor | cursor pointing to the starting node
  flags | flag used to customize the reading process (see DSRTypes::XF_xxx)
  encoding | use encoding handler if OFTrue, ignore character set otherwise

Returns
  status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

## ◆ renderHTML()

OFCondition DSRStringValue::renderHTML | ( | STD_NAMESPACE ostream & | docStream,
|  | const size_t | flags ) const

render string value in HTML/XHTML format

Parameters

  docStream | output stream to which the main HTML/XHTML document is written
  flags | flag used to customize the output (see DSRTypes::HF_xxx)

Returns
  status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

## ◆ setValue() [1/3]

OFCondition DSRStringValue::setValue | ( | const DcmElement & | delem,
|  | const unsigned long | pos = 0,
|  | const OFBool | check = OFTrue )

set string value from element.

Before setting the string value, it is usually checked. If the value is invalid, the current value is not replaced and remains unchanged.

Parameters

  delem | DICOM element from which the string value should be retrieved
  pos | index of the value in case of multi-valued elements (0..vm-1)
  check | if enabled, check string value for validity before setting it. See checkValue() method for details. An empty value is never accepted.

Returns
  status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

## ◆ setValue() [2/3]

OFCondition DSRStringValue::setValue | ( | const OFString & | stringValue,
|  | const OFBool | check = OFTrue )

set string value.

Before setting the string value, it is usually checked. If the value is invalid, the current value is not replaced and remains unchanged. Use the clear() method to empty the string value (which becomes invalid afterwards).

Parameters

  stringValue | value to be set (various VRs, mandatory)
  check | if enabled, check value for validity before setting it. See checkValue() method for details. An empty value is never accepted.

Returns
  status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

## ◆ setValue() [3/3]

OFCondition DSRStringValue::setValue | ( | DcmItem & | dataset,
|  | const DcmTagKey & | tagKey,
|  | const unsigned long | pos = 0,
|  | const OFBool | check = OFTrue )

set string value from dataset.

Before setting the string value, it is usually checked. If the value is invalid, the current value is not replaced and remains unchanged.

Parameters

  dataset | DICOM dataset from which the string value should be retrieved
  tagKey | DICOM tag specifying the attribute from which the value should be retrieved. The search is limited to the top-level of the dataset.
  pos | index of the value in case of multi-valued elements (0..vm-1)
  check | if enabled, check string value for validity before setting it. See checkValue() method for details. An empty value is never accepted.

Returns
  status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

## ◆ write()

OFCondition DSRStringValue::write | ( | DcmItem & | dataset,
|  | const DcmTagKey & | tagKey ) const

write string value to dataset

Parameters

  dataset | DICOM dataset to which the string value should be written
  tagKey | DICOM tag specifying the attribute that should be written

Returns
  status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise
