SWAPI_CountryIDToContinentName

This function retrieves the continent name by the country ID.

Syntax

Microsoft Visual C++
DWORD __stdcall SWAPI_CountryIDToContinentName(
  WORD CountryID,
  PVOID DstBuff,
  DWORD DstSize
);
Borland Delphi
function SWAPI_CountryIDToContinentName(
  const CountryID: WORD;
  const DstBuff: Pointer;
  const DstSize: DWORD
): DWORD; stdcall;
Microsoft Visual Basic
Declare Function SWAPI_CountryIDToContinentName Lib "swapimap.dll" (
  ByVal CountryID As Integer,
  ByVal DstBuff As String,
  ByVal DstSize As Long
) As Long

Parameters

CountryID
[in] Country ID retrieved by using the functions for obtaining the country ID.
DstBuff
[out] Pointer to the buffer to receive the string containing the continent name.
DstSize
[in] Size of the buffer specified by the DstBuff parameter in bytes. This value should be set to 13 or greater.

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero. If the return value is greater than DstSize, the value returned is the size of DstBuff required to hold the name. Otherwise, the value returned is the length of the string copied to DstBuff.

If the function fails, the return value is zero.

Remarks

The terminating null character is not copied to the buffer specified by DstBuff. Use the function return value to determine the length of the string copied to DstBuff.

Sample Code

Microsoft Visual C++
DWORD IPAddress;
WORD CountryID;
static CHAR result[14];
CString ContinentName;
int i;

IPAddress = 69956104;
CountryID = SWAPI_IPAddressToCountryID(IPAddress, 0);
if (CountryID == 0) {
  ContinentName = "Unknown";
}
else {
  i = SWAPI_CountryIDToContinentName(CountryID, result, 13);
  result[i] = 0;
  ContinentName = result;
}
AfxMessageBox(ContinentName);
Borland Delphi
var
  IPAddress: DWORD;
  CountryID: WORD;
  ContinentName: string;

  IPAddress := 69956104;
  CountryID := SWAPI_IPAddressToCountryID(IPAddress, 0);
  if (CountryID = 0) then
    ContinentName := 'Unknown'
  else

    SetLength(ContinentName, 13);
    SetLength(ContinentName, SWAPI_CountryIDToContinentName(CountryID,
      Pointer(ContinentName), 13));
  end;
  ShowMessage(ContinentName);
