ReadClassStg

Reads the CLSID previously written to a storage object with the WriteClassStg.

WINOLEAPI ReadClassStg(
  IStorage * pStg,  //Pointer to the storage object containing the 
                    // CLSID
  CLSID * pclsid    //Pointer to return the CLSID
);
 

Parameters

pStg

[in] Pointer to the IStorage interface on the storage object containing the CLSID to be retrieved.

pclsid

[out] Pointer to where the CLSID is written. May return CLSID_NULL.

Return Values

This function supports the standard return value E_OUTOFMEMORY, as well as the following:

S_OK

The CLSID was returned successfully.

This function also returns any of the error values returned by the IStorage::Stat method.

Remarks

This function is simply a helper function that calls the IStorage::Stat method and retrieves the CLSID previously written to the storage object with a call to WriteClassStg from the STATSTG structure.

Windows CE: Passing into this function any invalid and, under some circumstances, NULL pointers will result in unexpected termination of the application. For more information about handling exceptions, see Programming Considerations.
