Implementing an OnSyncSave Event Sink

Implementing an OnSyncSave Event Sink

This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.

A synchronous event is called once for the beginning phase of the specified event and then again to either commit or abort it. The EVT_NEW_ITEM flag is set for the first time this specific event is called for this event registration. See Store Event Sink Bit Flags for more information.
