#22017 - 2002-05-23 02:05 PM Suggestion for UDF name formats
Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	I have a suggestion for UDf name formats. Basically, we normally have three types of UDFs. Ones that use basic KiXtart commands, ones that rely on WMI (which might not be installed on the taret computer), and ones that use ADSI (which might not be installed on the taret computer). So, I am proposing to prepend UDFs that use ADSI with ADSI as in ADSIGetFullName() to retrieve the users full name with ADSI. In case of utilizing WMI we would get WMIGetProcessorSpeed(), as an example. I would make it easier to see whether a particular UDF is suitable for ones environment in case ADSI/WMI is not installed. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

They initially were ADSIServiceStartup and ADSIServiceRun. In attempting to key more on the topic of the code "service" I dropped it. Let's have a couple more opinions. I am not opposed to renaming them. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	Jens, my two cents, i love your idea, especially given that we have many ways to skin a cat now, eg, changing share info with WMI vs ADSI vs Command Line Tool. Another example is creating shortcuts - possible with native kix, cmdline tools and WSH ... you got my vote. -Shawn

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	You've got my vote too. I propose that a lowercase 'f' (or udf) also be prepended as in fADSIGetFullName() to denote a UDF. That way if Ruud ever implements an internal function by the same name (sans the 'f') in a future version, it will not break your code. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	I just tired to "search" the UDF Library for all post by my membership number so that I could rename them all, but nothing was return. Is this a known problem with the search engine? _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Just tested function name length limits and KiXtart seems to be able to handle a function name consisting of 280 characters [ 23 May 2002, 20:03: Message edited by: sealeopard ] _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
