This function examines a list of fully qualified directories for their current status.
Syntax
SCCRTN SccDirQueryInfo(
LPVOID pContext,
LONG nDirs,
LPCSTR* lpDirNames,
LPLONG lpStatus
);
Parameters
pContext
[in] The source control plug-in context structure.
nDirs
[in] The number of directories selected to be queried.
lpDirNames
[in] An array of fully qualified paths of the directories to be queried.
lpStatus
[in, out] An array structure for the source control plug-in to return the status flags (see Directory status code for details).
Return value
The source control plug-in implementation of this function is expected to return one of the following values:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| SCC_OK | The query was successful. |
| SCC_E_OPNOTSUPPORTED | The source code control system does not support this operation. |
| SCC_E_ACCESSFAILURE | There was a problem accessing the source control system, probably due to network or contention issues. A retry is recommended. |
| SCC_E_NONSPECIFICERROR SCC_E_UNKNOWNERROR |
Nonspecific failure. |
Remarks
The function fills the return array with a bitmask of bits from the SCC_DIRSTATUS family (see Directory status code), one entry for each directory given. The status array is allocated by the caller.
The IDE uses this function before a directory is renamed to check whether the directory is under source control by querying whether it has a corresponding project. If the directory is not under source control, the IDE can provide the proper warning to the user.
Note
If a source control plug-in chooses to not implement one or more of the status values, unimplemented bits should be set to zero.
