IStorage::CreateStorage  JR6EXL

Creates and opens a new storage object nested within this storage object.

HRESULT CreateStorage(

    const WCHAR * pwcsName,

//Points to the name of the new storage object

    DWORD grfMode,

//Access mode for the new storage object

    DWORD reserved1,

//Reserved; must be zero

    DWORD reserved2,

//Reserved; must be zero

    IStorage ** ppstg

//Points to new storage object

   );

 

 

Parameters

pwcsName

[in] Points to a wide character string that contains the name of the newly created storage object. This name can be used later to reopen the storage object.

grfMode

[in] Specifies the access mode to use when opening the newly created storage object. See the STGMJWLKYA enumeration values for descriptions of the possible values.

reserved1

[in] Reserved for future use; must be zero.

reserved2

[in] Reserved for future use; must be zero.

ppstg

[out] When successful, points to the location of the IStorage pointer to the newly-created storage object. This parameter is set to NULL if an error occurs.

Return Values

S_OK

The storage object was created successfully.

E_PENDING

Asynchronous Storage only: Part or all of the necessary data is currently unavailable. For more information see IFillLockBytes194LHM2 and Asynchronous Storage27PL.UQ.

STG_E_ACCESSDENIED

Insufficient permissions to create storage object.

STG_E_FILEALREADYEXISTS

The name specified for the storage object already exists in the storage object and the grfmode flag includes the flag STGM_FAILIFTHERE.

STG_E_INSUFFICIENTMEMORY

The storage object was not created due to a lack of memory.

STG_E_INVALIDFLAG

The value specified for the grfMode flag is not a valid STGMJWLKYA enumeration value.

STG_E_INVALIDFUNCTION

The specified combination of grfMode flags is not supported.

STG_E_INVALIDNAME

Invalid value for pwcsName.

STG_E_INVALIDPOINTER

The pointer specified for the storage object was invalid.

STG_E_INVALIDPARAMETER

One of the parameters was invalid.

STG_E_REVERTED

The storage object has been invalidated by a revert operation above it in the transaction tree.

STG_E_TOOMANYOPENFILES

The storage object was not created because there are too many open files.

STG_S_CONVERTED

The existing stream with the specified name was replaced with a new storage object containing a single stream called CONTENTS. The new storage object will be added.

Remarks

If a storage with the name specified in the pwcsName parameter already exists within the parent storage object, and the grfMode parameter includes the STGM_CREATE flag, the existing storage is replaced by the new one. If the grfMode parameter includes the STGM_CONVERT flag, the existing element is converted to a stream object named CONTENTS and the new storage object is created containing the CONTENTS stream object. The destruction of the old element and the creation of the new storage object are both subject to the transaction mode on the parent storage object.

If a storage object with the same name already exists and grfMode is set to STGM_FAILIFTHERE, this method fails with the return value STG_E_FILEALREADYEXISTS.
