Sometimes it is necessary to only allow certain attributes to be visible in a tag list. In order to achieve this, the tag array would need to be filtered. A number of functions are provided for filtering items in a tag array. They are FilterTagChanges(), FilterTagItems() and RefreshTagItemClones(). /* We want the text entry gadget to receive the following tags */ Tag string_attrs[] = { STRINGA_MaxChars, STRINGA_Buffer, STRINGA_TextVal, TAG_END, }; /* These are attributes that the model understands */ Tag model_attrs[] = { CGTA_Total, CGTA_Visible, CGTA_Top, ICA_TARGET, ICA_MAP, TAG_END, }; struct TagItem *otags; /* Original tag list */ struct TagItem *ntags; /* New, work, tag list */ /* Make a copy of the original for us to work with */ ntags = CloneTagItems (otags); /* Create a tag list that only contains attributes that are * listed in the model_attrs list. */ if (FilterTagItems (ntags, model_attrs, TAGFILTER_AND)) { /* Work with filtered tag list (ntags) */ /* Restore the tag list */ RefreshTagItemClones (ntags, otags); /* Create a tag list that only contains attributes that * aren't in the model_attrs list. */ if (FilterTagItems (ntags, model_attrs, TAGFILTER_NOT)) { /* Work with filtered tag list (ntags) */ } /* Restore the tag list */ RefreshTagItemClones (ntags, otags); /* Create a tag list that only contains attributes that * are in the string_attrs list. */ if (FilterTagItems (ntags, string_attrs, TAGFILTER_AND)) { /* Work with filtered tag list (ntags) */ } } /* Free work tag list. */ FreeTagItems (ntags);
