Members
relop
Relational operator that will be used in the search. Possible values are as follows:RELOP_GE
The comparison is made based on a greater or equal first value.RELOP_GT
The comparison is made based on a greater first value.RELOP_LE
The comparison is made based on a lesser or equal first value.RELOP_LT
The comparison is made based on a lesser first value.RELOP_NE
The comparison is made based on unequal values.RELOP_RE
The comparison is made based on LIKE (regular expression) values.RELOP_EQ
The comparison is made based on equal values.
ulPropTag
Property tag identifying the property to be compared.lpProp
Pointer to an SPropValue structure that contains the constant value that will be used in the comparison.
Remarks
There are two property tags in a SPropertyRestriction structure. One is in the ulPropTag member and the other is in the ulPropTag member of the SPropValue structure pointed to by lpProp. In both tags, MAPI requires only the property type field and ignores the property identifier field. However, the two property types must match, or else the error value MAPI_E_TOO_COMPLEX is returned when the restriction is used in a call to IMAPITable::Restrict or IMAPITable::FindRow.
The comparison order is (property value) (relational operator) (constant value).
When a property restriction is passed to IMAPITable::Restrict or IMAPITable::FindRow and the target property does not exist, the results of the restriction are undefined. By creating an AND restriction that joins the property restriction with an exist restriction, a caller can be guaranteed accurate results. Use a SExistRestriction structure to define the exist restriction and a SAndRestriction structure to define the AND restriction.
Multi-valued property tags can be used in property restrictions if the service provider implementing the table supports them. If supported, multi-valued property tags can be used anywhere single-valued property tags can be used.
Multi-valued property tags can be used in the following methods:
