DataObject.IDataObject.QueryGetData(FORMATETC) Method

Definition

Determines whether the data object is capable of rendering the data described in the FORMATETC structure. Objects attempting a paste or drop operation can call this method before calling GetData(FORMATETC, STGMEDIUM) to get an indication of whether the operation may be successful.

 virtual int System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.IDataObject.QueryGetData(System::Runtime::InteropServices::ComTypes::FORMATETC % formatetc) = System::Runtime::InteropServices::ComTypes::IDataObject::QueryGetData;
int IDataObject.QueryGetData (ref System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.FORMATETC formatetc);
abstract member System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.IDataObject.QueryGetData : FORMATETC -> int
override this.System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.IDataObject.QueryGetData : FORMATETC -> int
Function QueryGetData (ByRef formatetc As FORMATETC) As Integer Implements IDataObject.QueryGetData

Parameters

formatetc
FORMATETC

A pointer to a FORMATETC structure, passed by reference, that defines the format, medium, and target device to use for the query.

Returns

This method supports the standard return values E_INVALIDARG, E_UNEXPECTED, and E_OUTOFMEMORY, as well as the following:

Value Description
S_OK A subsequent call to GetData(FORMATETC, STGMEDIUM) would probably be successful.
DV_E_LINDEX An invalid value for lindex; currently, only -1 is supported.
