PROPID_M_LAST_IN_XACT
Applies To: Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server Technical Preview, Windows Vista
(Read-only, introduced in MSMQ 2.0.) The PROPID_M_LAST_IN_XACT property indicates whether the message was the last message sent in a transaction.
Property ID
PROPID_M_LAST_IN_XACT
Type Indicator
VT_UI1
MQPROPVARIANT Field
bVal
Property Value
One of the following:
MQMSG_LAST_IN_XACT
The message was the last message sent in the transaction.
MQMSG_NOT_LAST_IN_XACT
The message was not the last message sent in the transaction.
Remarks
This property is available for MSMQ 2.0 and later. It is used by receiving applications to verify that a message was the last message sent from a single transaction to a single queue.
You can use PROPID_M_LAST_IN_XACT along with two other properties to verify transaction boundaries. The PROPID_M_FIRST_IN_XACT property is used for identifying the first message in a transaction, and the PROPID_M_XACTID property is used for retrieving the identifier of the transaction.
If only one message is sent in a transaction, both PROPID_M_FIRST_IN_XACT and PROPID_M_LAST_IN_XACT are set.
To retrieve this property, include PROPID_M_LAST_IN_XACT in the MQMSGPROPS structure. Then call MQReceiveMessagee or MQReceiveMessageByLookupId and test the returned value. When retrieving this property, the type indicator can be set to VT_UI1 or VT_NULL. If you set the type indicator to VT_NULL, Message Queuing automatically changes the type indicator to VT_UI1 during the function call.
Equivalent COM Property
With COM components, the equivalent property for ascertaining whether a message is the last message in a transaction is MSMQMessage.IsLastInTransaction.

Example Code
The following code fragment shows how PROPID_M_LAST_IN_XACT is specified in arrays that can be used to initialize an MQMSGPROPS structure.
aMsgPropId[i] = PROPID_M_LAST_IN_XACT; // Property ID
aMsgPropVar[i].vt = VT_NULL; // Type indicator
i++;
