STRRET info

Contains strings returned from IShellFolder methods, such as GetDisplayNameOf.

typedef struct _STRRET { // str 

    UINT uType; 

    union 

    { 

        LPWSTR pOleStr;        // pointer to OLE string to free 

        UINT   uOffset;        // offset into item identifier list 

        char   cStr[MAX_PATH]; // buffer to receive the display name 

    } DUMMYUNIONNAME; 

} STRRET, *LPSTRRET; 

Member

uType

Value that specifies the desired format of the string. This member can be one of the following values:

STRRET_CSTR	The string is returned in cStr.
STRRET_OFFSET	The string is located at uOffset bytes from the beginning of the item identifier list.
STRRET_WSTR	The string is at the address pointed to by pOleStr.

Remarks

The system may or may not provide the display name in the desired format. When IShellFolder::GetDisplayNameOf returns, the uType member indicates the format.
