GetScriptManagerVariable

The GetScriptManagerVariable function retrieves the value of the specified Script Manager variable.

FUNCTION GetScriptManagerVariable (selector: Integer): LongInt;

selector

A value that specifies a particular Script Manager variable.

DESCRIPTION

Although GetScriptManagerVariable always returns a long integer, the actual value may be a long integer, standard integer, or signed byte. If the value is not a long integer, it is stored in the low-order word or byte of the long integer returned by GetScriptManagerVariable; the remaining bytes are set to 0.

The GetScriptManagerVariable function returns 0 if the selector is invalid.

Note

For some valid selectors, 0 may also be a valid return value. For example, when you call GetScriptManagerVariable with a selector value of smRegionCode on a version of Macintosh system software that has been localized for the United States, it returns 0.

To specify the Script Manager variable whose value you need, use one of the selector constants listed on page 6-61.
