BIND_FLAGS
The BIND_FLAGS
enumeration values are used to control aspects of moniker binding operations.
The values are used in the BIND_OPTS structure. Callers of IMoniker methods can specify values
from this enumeration, and implementers of IMoniker methods can use these
values in determining what they should do.
typedef enum tagBIND_FLAGS
{
BIND_MAYBOTHERUSER = 1,
BIND_JUSTTESTEXISTENCE = 2,
} BIND_FLAGS;
Elements
BIND_MAYBOTHERUSER
If this flag
is specified, the moniker implementation can interact with the end user. If not
present, the moniker implementation should not interact with the user in any
way, such as by asking for a password for a network volume that needs mounting.
If prohibited from interacting with the user when it otherwise would, a moniker
implementation can use a different algorithm that does not require user
interaction, or it can fail with the error MK_MUSTBOTHERUSER.
BIND_JUSTTESTEXISTENCE
If this flag
is specified, the caller is not interested in having the operation carried out,
but only in learning whether the operation could have been carried out had this
flag not been specified. For example, this flag lets the caller indicate only
an interest in finding out whether an object actually exists by using this flag
in a IMoniker::BindToObject
call. Moniker implementations can, however, ignore this possible optimization
and carry out the operation in full. Callers must be able to deal with both
cases.
