[pilot-db-list] plugin programming: DataSourceGetter question

[Dick R. <dre...@bi...>]

Hi All,

I'm working on a specialty plugin, and I want to access values
in pilot-db records. I have declared

     DataSourceGetter getter;

When I use

     getter.GetBoolean(source, i)

I get rubbish.  Ditto for getter.GetString. But, when I use

     ConvertFieldToString( source, &getter, ...)

I get the correct representations of data in the record.

My question is: why can't I sue getter.GetBoolean,
getter.GetString and getter.GetInteger?

Thanks,

Dick Repasky
