Mapping between vCard properties and Symbian-specific constants in Using Contacts Model (CNTMODEL)

These tables list the UIDs that Symbian OS uses to identify vCard properties and property parameters. The mapping between vCard properties and Symbian OS-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.

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).
