SHSkipJunction function (shlwapi.h)

Article
02/22/2024

Checks a bind context to see if it is safe to bind to a particular component object.

Syntax

BOOL SHSkipJunction(
  [in, optional] IBindCtx    *pbc,
  [in]           const CLSID *pclsid
);

Parameters

[in, optional] pbc

Type: IBindCtx*

A pointer to an IBindCtx interface that specifies the bind context you want to check. This value can be NULL.

[in] pclsid

Type: const CLSID*

A pointer to a variable that specifies the CLSID of the object being tested to see if it must be skipped. Typically, this is the CLSID of the object that IShellFolder::BindToObject is about to create.

Return value

Type: BOOL

Returns TRUE if the object specified by pclsid must be skipped, or FALSE otherwise.

Remarks

This function can be used to avoid infinite cycles in namespace binding. For example, a folder shortcut that refers to a folder above it in the namespace tree can produce an infinitely recursive loop.
