    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;

The string is returned in cStr.

STRRET_OFFSET

The string is located at uOffset bytes from the beginning of the item identifier list.
