3.2.3.2 LinkBase Property Example

This is an example of the LinkBase property (VT_BLOB TypedPropertyValue property).

Offset	Size	Structure	Value
00000372	000A	TypedPropertyValue - _PID_LINKBASE
00000372	0002	WORD - wType	0x0041
00000374	0002	WORD - padding	0x0000
00000376	0004	DWORD - cb	0x00000002
0000037A	0002	Array of WCHAR - value	0x0000
0000037C	0002	Array of bytes - padding	0x0000

Figure 26: Structure of a LinkBase property

wType: 0x0041 indicates the property is a VT_BLOB TypedPropertyValue property.

cb: 0x00000002 indicates the count of bytes of the value of this property. In this example, the value field contains an empty string, so 0x00000002 refers to the count of bytes of the Unicode terminating NULL character.

value: The value field of the property contains only a Unicode terminating NULL character.

padding: 0x0000 is 2 bytes of padding. This padding is added so that the length of this VT_BLOB TypedPropertyValue property structure is a multiple of 4 bytes.
