Fields

Name	Value	Description
TYMED_NULL	0	No data is being passed.
TYMED_HGLOBAL	1	The storage medium is a global memory handle (HGLOBAL). Allocate the global handle with the GMEM_SHARE flag. If the STGMEDIUMpUnkForRelease member is null, the destination process should use GlobalFree to release the memory.
TYMED_FILE	2	The storage medium is a disk file identified by a path. If the STGMEDIUMpUnkForRelease member is null, the destination process should use OpenFile to delete the file.
TYMED_ISTREAM	4	The storage medium is a stream object identified by an IStream pointer. Use ISequentialStream::Read to read the data. If the STGMEDIUMpUnkForRelease member is not null, the destination process should use IStream::Release to release the stream component.
TYMED_ISTORAGE	8	The storage medium is a storage component identified by an IStorage pointer. The data is in the streams and storages contained by this IStorage instance. If the STGMEDIUMpUnkForRelease member is not null, the destination process should use IStorage::Release to release the storage component.
TYMED_GDI	16	The storage medium is a Graphics Device Interface (GDI) component (HBITMAP). If the STGMEDIUMpUnkForRelease member is null, the destination process should use DeleteObject to delete the bitmap.
TYMED_MFPICT	32	The storage medium is a metafile (HMETAFILE). Use the Windows or WIN32 functions to access the metafile's data. If the STGMEDIUMpUnkForRelease member is null, the destination process should use DeleteMetaFile to delete the bitmap.
TYMED_ENHMF	64	The storage medium is an enhanced metafile. If the STGMEDIUMpUnkForRelease member is null, the destination process should use DeleteEnhMetaFile to delete the bitmap.

Remarks

For more information, see TYMED enumeration.

The common language runtime throws an exception when a COM method in native code returns an HRESULT. For more information, see How to: Map HRESULTs and Exceptions.
