PropVariantCopy function (combaseapi.h)
The PropVariantCopy function copies the contents of one PROPVARIANT structure to another.
Syntax
HRESULT PropVariantCopy(
[in, out] PROPVARIANT *pvarDest,
[in] const PROPVARIANT *pvarSrc
);
Parameters
[in, out] pvarDest
Pointer to an uninitialized PROPVARIANT structure that receives the copy.
[in] pvarSrc
Pointer to the PROPVARIANT structure to be copied.
Return value
This function returns HRESULT.
Remarks
Copies a PROPVARIANT structure by value so the original pvarSrc and new pvarDest parameters may be freed independently with calls to PropVariantClear. PropVariantCopy does not free the destination as the VariantCopy function does. For nonsimple PROPVARIANT types such as VT_STREAM, VT_STORAGE, and so forth, which require a subobject, the copy is made by reference. The pointer is copied, and IUnknown::AddRef is called on it. It is illegal to pass NULL for either pvarDest or pvarSrc.
