Windows CE: Structure of standard databases

Overview

The structure of standard databases is a preset structure of WLanguage (no declaration is required). This structure is used to:

create a record,
modify a record,
retrieve the content of a record.

To reset all the structure variables to zero, use cdbReset.

Note: The variables for the structure of the standard databases differ according to the database used: Contacts, Appointments and Tasks.

Special case with Windows Mobile 5: Windows Mobile 5 can no longer be used to access a standard database (task, contacts, appointment, ...) from a Windows application (and therefore from a WINDEV application).
