SafeArrayAccessData (Windows CE 5.0)
This function increments the lock count of an array and retrieves a pointer to the array data.
HRESULT SafeArrayAccessData( SAFEARRAY FAR* psa,void HUGEP* FAR* ppvData );
Parameters
- psa
[in] Pointer to an array descriptor created by SafeArrayCreate. - ppvData
[in] On exit, pointer to a pointer to the array data.
Return Values
Returns the HRESULT values shown in the following table.
Value | Description |
---|---|
S_OK | Success. |
E_INVALIDARG | The psa parameter was not a valid safearray descriptor. |
E_UNEXPECTED | The array could not be locked. |
Remarks
Passing invalid (and under some circumstances NULL) pointers to this function causes an unexpected termination of the application.
Example
The following code example sorts a safearray of one dimension that contains BSTRs by accessing the array elements directly. This approach is faster than using SafeArrayGetElement and SafeArrayPutElement.
long i, j, min;
BSTR BSTRTemp;
BSTR HUGEP *pBSTR;
HRESULT hr;
// Get a pointer to the elements of the array.
hr = SafeArrayAccessData(psa, (void HUGEP* FAR*)&pBSTR);
if (FAILED(hr))
goto error;
// Bubble sort.
cElements = lUBound–lLBound+1;
for (i = 0; i < cElements–1; i++)
{
min = i;
for (j = i+1; j < cElements; j++)
{
if (wcscmp(pBSTR[j], pBSTR[min]) < 0)
min = j;
}
// Swap array[min] and array[i].
BSTRTemp = pBSTR[min];
pBSTR[min] = pBSTR[i];
pBSTR[i] = BSTRTemp;
}
SafeArrayUnaccessData(psa);
