IDirectorySearch interface (iads.h)
The IDirectorySearch interface is a pure COM interface that provides a low overhead method that non-Automation clients can use to perform queries in the underlying directory.
Of the ADSI system-supplied providers, only the LDAP provider supports this interface.
Inheritance
The IDirectorySearch interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IDirectorySearch also has these types of members:
Methods
The IDirectorySearch interface has these methods.
| IDirectorySearch::AbandonSearch The IDirectorySearch::AbandonSearch method abandons a search initiated by an earlier call to the ExecuteSearch method. |
| IDirectorySearch::CloseSearchHandle The IDirectorySearch::CloseSearchHandle method closes the handle to a search result and frees the associated memory. |
| IDirectorySearch::ExecuteSearch The IDirectorySearch::ExecuteSearch method executes a search and passes the results to the caller. |
| IDirectorySearch::FreeColumn The IDirectorySearch::FreeColumn method releases memory that the IDirectorySearch::GetColumn method allocated for data for the column. |
| IDirectorySearch::GetColumn The IDirectorySearch::GetColumn method gets data from a named column of the search result. |
| IDirectorySearch::GetFirstRow The GetFirstRow method gets the first row of a search result. This method will issue or reissue a new search, even if this method has been called before. |
| IDirectorySearch::GetNextColumnName The IDirectorySearch::GetNextColumnName method gets the name of the next column in the search result that contains data. |
| IDirectorySearch::GetNextRow Gets the next row of the search result. |
| IDirectorySearch::GetPreviousRow The IDirectorySearch::GetPreviousRow method gets the previous row of the search result. If the provider does not provide cursor support, it should return E_NOTIMPL. |
| IDirectorySearch::SetSearchPreference Specifies a search preference for obtaining data in a subsequent search. |
