IEnumString (Windows CE 5.0)
This interface enumerates strings. The LPWSTR data type indicates a pointer to a zero-terminated string of wide, or Unicode, characters.
IEnumString has the same methods as all enumerator interfaces: Next, Skip, Reset, and Clone. For general information on these methods, refer to IEnumXXXX.
When to Implement
It is usually not necessary to implement this interface unless you have use for a custom string enumerator.
A system implementation in the bind context object that exposes the IBindCtx interface also contains an implementation of IEnumString.
The IBindCtx::EnumObjectParam method returns a pointer to this IEnumString interface on an enumerator that can return the keys of the bind context's string-keyed table of pointers.
When to Use
Call the methods of IEnumString to enumerate through a set of strings.
