Conformance
Version Introduced: ODBC 2.0
Summary
ConfigTranslator returns a default translation option for a translator. It can be in the translator DLL or a separate setup DLL.
Syntax
BOOL ConfigTranslator(
HWND hwndParent,
DWORD * pvOption);
Arguments
hwndParent
[Input]
Parent window handle. The function will not display any dialog boxes if the handle is null.
pvOption
[Output]
A 32-bit translation option.
Returns
The function returns TRUE if it is successful, FALSE if it fails.
Diagnostics
When ConfigTranslator returns FALSE, an associated *pfErrorCode value is posted to the installer error buffer by a call to SQLPostInstallerError, and may be obtained by calling SQLInstallerError. The following table lists the *pfErrorCode values that can be returned by SQLInstallerError and explains each one in the context of this function.
| *pfErrorCode | Error | Description |
| ODBC_ERROR_ INVALID_HWND |
Invalid window handle | The hwndParent argument was invalid or NULL. |
| ODBC_ERROR_ DRIVER_ SPECIFIC |
Driver- or translator-specific error | A driver-specific error for which there is no defined ODBC installer error. The SzError argument in a call to the SQLPostInstallerError function should contain the driver-specific error message. |
| ODBC_ERROR_ INVALID_OPTION |
Invalid translation option | The pvOption argument contained an invalid value. |
Comments
If the translator supports only a single translation option, ConfigTranslator returns TRUE and sets pvOption to the 32-bit option. Otherwise, it determines the default translation option to use. ConfigTranslator can display a dialog box with which a user selects a default translation option.
