UIDs that Identify vCard Properties

Introduction

These tables list the UIDs that Symbian uses to identify vCard properties and property parameters. The mapping between vCard properties and Symbian-specific constants is done by the cntvcard component ( cntvcard.dll ).

The first column describes the properties and the second lists the property names as they appear in a vCard. The third and fourth columns list the corresponding Symbian UIDs. The combination of one or more field type UIDs and an optional mapping UID uniquely identify each property. Field type and vCard mapping UIDs are defined in cntdef.h .

Example

The following example demonstrates how a contact item ( newCard ) is created and assigned fields of different types using some of the UIDs listed in the tables above.

       
        
       
       #include <cntitem.h>
#include <cntfield.h>
#include <cntfldst.h>
#include <cntdef.h>
#include <cntdef.hrh> 

// Create a contact card and add a work phone number. Numeric values are 
// stored in a text field (storage type = KStorageTypeText).

CContactCard* newCard = CContactCard::NewLC();
_LIT(KWorkNumber,"02071234567");
// First create the field to hold the phone number
CContactItemField* phonefield=CContactItemField::NewLC(KStorageTypeText); 
// Set the field types and mapping UIDs for a work phone number property
phonefield->AddFieldTypeL(KUidContactFieldPhoneNumber);
phonefield->AddFieldTypeL(KUidContactFieldVCardMapWORK); 
// Make it the preferred number
phonefield->AddFieldTypeL(KUidContactFieldVCardMapPREF);
phonefield->SetMapping(KUidContactFieldVCardMapTEL);
// Add the telephone number to the field and the field to the card
phonefield->TextStorage()->SetTextL(KWorkNumber);
newCard->AddFieldL(*phonefield); // newCard takes ownership
CleanupStack::Pop(); // phonefield

// Add a birthday property. Date property values are stored using "date/time" 
// fields (storage type=KStorageTypeDateTime).

CContactItemField* birthdayfield=CContactItemField::NewLC(KStorageTypeDateTime);
birthdayfield->AddFieldTypeL(KUidContactFieldBirthday);
birthdayfield->SetMapping(KUidContactFieldVCardMapBDAY);
// Set birthday - 10 Jan 1970
birthdayfield->DateTimeStorage()->SetTime(TDateTime(1970,EJanuary,9,0,0,0,0));
newCard->AddFieldL(*birthdayfield); // newCard takes ownership
CleanupStack::Pop(); // birthdayfield
