IMSLogon::OpenEntry
Applies to: Office 2010 | Outlook 2010 | Visual Studio
Opens a folder or message object and returns a pointer to the object to provide further access.
HRESULT OpenEntry(
ULONG cbEntryID,
LPENTRYID lpEntryID,
LPCIID lpInterface,
ULONG ulOpenFlags,
ULONG FAR * lpulObjType,
LPUNKNOWN FAR * lppUnk
);
Parameters
cbEntryID
[in] The size, in bytes, of the entry identifier pointed to by the lpEntryID parameter.lpEntryID
[in] A pointer to the address of the entry identifier of the folder or message object to open.lpInterface
[in] A pointer to the interface identifier (IID) for the object. Passing NULL indicates that the object is cast to the standard interface for such an object. The lpInterface parameter can also be set to an identifier for an appropriate interface for the object.ulOpenFlags
[in] A bitmask of flags that controls how the object is opened. The following flags can be set:MAPI_BEST_ACCESS
The object should be opened with the maximum permissions allowed for the user and the maximum client application permissions. For example, if the client has read/write permission, the object is opened with read/write permission; if the client has read-only permission, the object is opened with read-only permission. The client can retrieve the permission level by getting the PR_ACCESS_LEVEL (PidTagAccessLevel) property.MAPI_DEFERRED_ERRORS
The call is allowed to succeed even if the underlying object is not available to the calling application. If the object is not available, a subsequent call to the object might return an error.MAPI_MODIFY
Requests read/write permission. By default, objects are created with read-only permission, and clients should not work on the assumption that read/write permission has been granted.
lpulObjType
[out] A pointer to the type of the opened object.lppUnk
[out] A pointer to the pointer to the opened object.
Return Value
- S_OK
The call succeeded and has returned the expected value or values.
Remarks
MAPI calls the IMSLogon::OpenEntry method to open a folder or a message in a message store. MAPI passes in the entry identifier of the object to open. The message store provider should return a pointer that enables further access to the object specified in the lppUnk parameter.
Before MAPI calls IMSLogon::OpenEntry, it first determines that the given message or folder entry identifier matches one registered by this message store provider. For more information about how store providers register entry identifiers, see IMAPISupport::SetProviderUID.
IMSLogon::OpenEntry is identical to the IMsgStore::OpenEntry method of the message store object, except that the client does not call IMSLogon::OpenEntry; MAPI calls IMSLogon::OpenEntry when it processes an IMAPISession::OpenEntry method. Objects opened by using IMSLogon::OpenEntry should be treated exactly the same as objects opened by using the message store object; in particular, objects opened by using this call should be invalidated when the message store object is released.
