File Name Validation Flags

These flags specify the behavior of the media locator.

Constant Value Description
SFN_VALIDATEF_CHECK 0x01 Check the validity of file names. You must set this flag to validate file names. If not, the other flags have no effect.
SFN_VALIDATEF_POPUP 0x02 If a file is not located, display an Open File dialog box for the end user.
SFN_VALIDATEF_TELLME 0x04 If a missing file is located, briefly display a message box with the name and location of the file. This flag is mostly useful for testing purposes; the message box is probably not suitable for a retail product.
SFN_VALIDATEF_REPLACE 0x08 If a missing file is located, update the name of the source object. (Only valid in the IAMTimeline::ValidateSourceNames method.)
SFN_VALIDATEF_USELOCAL 0x10 Always use a local file, even if a version of the file exists on the network.
SFN_VALIDATEF_NOFIND 0x20 Do not search for missing files. File names are still validated if you set the SFN_VALIDATEF_CHECK flag.
SFN_VALIDATEF_IGNOREMUTED 0x40 Ignore muted source objects. (Only valid in the IAMTimeline::ValidateSourceNames method.)
