IMAPIViewContext::GetViewStatus

Applies to: Office 2010 | Outlook 2010 | Visual Studio

Retrieves the current viewer status.

HRESULT GetViewStatus(
ULONG FAR * lpulStatus
);

Parameters

  • lpulStatus
    [out] Pointer to a bitmask of flags providing the status of the viewer. The following flags can be set:

    • VCSTATUS_CATEGORY
      There is a next or previous message in another category.

    • VCSTATUS_DELETE
      The form allows messages to be removed.

    • VCSTATUS_INTERACTIVE
      The form should display a user interface. If this flag is not set, the form should suppress displaying a user interface even in response to a verb that usually causes a user interface to be displayed.

    • VCSTATUS_MODAL
      The form is modal to the viewer.

    • VCSTATUS_NEXT
      There is a next message in the view.

    • VCSTATUS_PREV
      There is a previous message in the view.

    • VCSTATUS_READONLY
      The message is to be opened in read-only mode. Delete, submit, and move operations should be disabled.

    • VCSTATUS_UNREAD
      There is a next or previous unread message in the view.

Return Value

  • S_OK
    The viewer's status was successfully returned.

Remarks

Form objects call the IMAPIViewContext::GetViewStatus method to determine whether there are more messages to be activated in a form view in either or both directions that is, in the direction in which a Next command activates messages, in the direction in which a Previous command activates messages, or in both directions. The value pointed to by the lpulStatus parameter is used to determine whether the VCSTATUS_NEXT and VCSTATUS_PREV flags are valid for IMAPIViewContext::ActivateNext. If the VCSTATUS_DELETE flag is set, but not the VCSTATUS_READONLY flag, then the message can be deleted using the IMAPIMessageSite::DeleteMessage method.

Typically, forms disable menu commands and buttons if they are not valid for the viewer's context. A viewer can alert a form to a change in status by calling its IMAPIFormAdviseSink::OnChange method.

The VCSTATUS_MODAL flag is set if the form must be modal to the window whose handle is passed in the earlier IMAPIForm::DoVerb call. If VCSTATUS_MODAL is set, the form can use the thread on which the DoVerb call was made until the form closes. If VCSTATUS_MODAL is not set, the form should not be modal to this window and must not use the thread.
