CCntFilter Class Reference

class CCntFilter : public CBase

A contact database filter.

This is used to get a subset of the items in a contact database. There are three criteria used when filtering a database:

the contact item's state

the date/time the contact item was created/last modified/deleted

the contact item's type

The state can be one of: deleted, modified or created (since a specified date/time). The filter can be set to include contact items of only one state, or it can be set to include contact items of all states, using the TInclude enumeration.

The date/time value is used in combination with the contact item's state.

The contact item's type is one of contact card, contact card group, contact card template, or own card. Any combination of contact types may be specified in the filter, in addition to the contact item's state.

After the filter has been set up, it should be passed to the function CContactDatabase::FilterDatabaseL() .
