IEnumSTATSTG:IUnknown (Windows CE 5.0)

Article
09/14/2012

This interface is used to enumerate through an array of STATSTG structures that contains statistical information about an open storage, stream, or byte array object. This interface has the same methods as all enumerator interfaces: Next, Skip, Reset, and Clone.

When to Implement

IEnumSTATSTG is implemented to enumerate the elements of a storage object.

If you are using the compound file implementation of the storage object, a pointer to which is available through a call to the StgCreateDocfile function, IEnumSTATSTG is implemented on that object, and a pointer is returned through a call to the IStorage::EnumElements method.

If you are doing a custom implementation of a storage object, you need to implement IEnumSTATSTG to fill in a caller-allocated array of STATSTG structures, each of which contains information about the nested elements in the storage object.

When to Use

Containers call methods that return a pointer to IEnumSTATSTG so the container can manage its storage object and the elements within it.

Calls to the IStorage::EnumElements method supply a pointer to IEnumSTATSTG.

The caller allocates an array of STATSTG structures and the IEnumSTATSTG methods fill in each structure with the statistics about one of the nested elements in the storage object.

The prototypes of the methods are as follows.

HRESULT Next(
  ULONG celt,           
  STATSTG * rgelt,      
  ULONG * pceltFetched  
);
 
HRESULT Skip(
  ULONG celt  
);
 
HRESULT Reset(void)
 
HRESULT Clone(
  IEnumSTATSTG ** ppenum  
);

Methods

The following table shows the methods for this interface in alphabetical order.

Method	Description
Clone	Creates a copy of the current state of enumeration.
Next	Retrieves a specified number of items in the enumeration sequence.
Reset	Resets the enumeration sequence to the beginning.
Skip	Skips over a specified number of items in the enumeration sequence.
