SetFromString Method
Stores the String value into the Vector of bytes including the terminating null character. Value might be truncated unless Resizable is True. The string is stored as an ANSI string unless Unicode is True, in which case it is stored as a Unicode string.
Syntax
object.SetFromString( _
Value As String, _
[Resizable As Boolean,] _
[Unicode As Boolean])
Parameters
Value
Required. String value.Resizable
Optional. Boolean value.
False
Not resizable.True
Default. Resizable.Unicode
Optional. Boolean value.
False
Not Unicode.True
Default. Unicode.
Remarks
Because vectors of bytes can actually be strings, this method provides a way to set the contents of a Vector of bytes from a String in either Unicode or ANSI form. Note that since all strings are Unicode in Microsoft Visual Basic, you need to specify which way you would like the string stored.
One common point of confusion is how to create a Vector of bytes. Many Visual Basic developers might be tempted to try the following:
'Do not follow this example Dim v 'As Vector Set v = CreateObject("WIA.Vector") v.Add "A"However, the previous example does not work as expected. It actually creates a Vector of strings where the first element contains the string "A". Instead, to create a Vector containing bytes you can use the SetFromString method or the CByte function in Visual Basic as follows:
Dim v 'As Vector Dim b 'As Byte Set v = CreateObject("WIA.Vector") b = Asc("A") v.Add CByte(b)For example code, see Exif Filter: Write a New Title Tag to an Image.
