ISyncMgrControl::UpdateConflicts method (syncmgr.h)

Informs Sync Center that conflicts have been added for a specific handler or item.

Syntax

HRESULT UpdateConflicts(
  [in] LPCWSTR               pszHandlerID,
  [in] LPCWSTR               pszItemID,
  [in] SYNCMGR_CONTROL_FLAGS nControlFlags
);

Parameters

[in] pszHandlerID

Type: LPCWSTR

A pointer to a buffer containing the unique ID of the handler that manages the item. This string is of maximum length MAX_SYNCMGR_ID including the terminating null character.

[in] pszItemID

Type: LPCWSTR

A pointer to a buffer containing the unique ID of the item. This string is of maximum length MAX_SYNCMGR_ID including the terminating null character. This parameter can be NULL if the event occurred on the handler rather than on a specific item.

[in] nControlFlags

Type: SYNCMGR_CONTROL_FLAGS

A value from the SYNCMGR_CONTROL_FLAGS enumeration specifying whether the update should be performed synchronously or asynchronously.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

If SYNCMGR_CF_WAIT is set in the nControlFlags parameter, UpdateConflicts does not return until Sync Center has loaded the specified handler, retrieved the handler's conflict store, and reloaded all conflicts from that store. If the handler is provided by a handler collection, the handler collection is also loaded to reload the handler.

Examples

The following example shows the usage of ISyncMgrControl::UpdateEvents by a handler's procedure.

void CMyDeviceHandler::Synchronize(...)
{
    ...
    // Add conflicts to the event store.

    // Get the Sync Center control object.
    ISyncMgrControl *pControl = NULL;
    
    hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SyncMgrControl, 
                          CLSCTX_SERVER, 
                          IID_PPV_ARGS(&pControl));
    if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
    {
        // Tell Sync Center that we added events to our event store.
        // By passing NULL in pszItemID, we tell Sync Center that the conflict
        // occurred on the handler rather than a specific item.
        hr = pControl->UpdateConflicts(s_szMyDeviceSyncHandlerID, 
                                       NULL,
                                       SYNCMGR_CF_NOWAIT);
        pControl->Release();
    }

    ...

}
