get_array


Description:

[ Version ( since = "1.12" ) ]
public bool get_array (string fieldname, out ValueArray array)

This is useful in language bindings where unknown Value types are not supported.

This function will convert the GST_TYPE_ARRAY into a newly allocated ValueArray and return it through array. Be aware that this is slower then getting the Value directly.

Parameters:

this

a Structure

fieldname

the name of a field

array

a pointer to a ValueArray

Returns:

true if the value could be set correctly. If there was no field with fieldname or the existing field did not contain a GST_TYPE_ARRAY, this function returns false.
