INodeProperties::GetProperty method (mmc.h)
The GetProperty method retrieves text-only property values for a node. Your implementation of the INodeProperties::GetProperty method is called when an application based on the MMC 2.0 Automation Object Model retrieves the Node.Property property.
Syntax
HRESULT GetProperty(
[in] LPDATAOBJECT pDataObject,
[in] BSTR szPropertyName,
[out] PBSTR pbstrProperty
);
Parameters
[in] pDataObject
A pointer to the snap-in data object.
[in] szPropertyName
The name of the property retrieved.
[out] pbstrProperty
Text value for the property.
Return value
The snap-in returns S_OK if it provides the property value when this method is called. If the snap-in returns S_FALSE, then the data object is queried for the property value.
Remarks
The Extended View extension uses two properties: CCF_DESCRIPTION and CCF_HTML_DETAILS. As an alternative to supplying values for these properties using the data object to query the CCF_DESCRIPTION and CCF_HTML_DETAILS clipboard formats, a snap-in can use INodeProperties::GetProperty to return the property values to the Extended View. This alternative is beneficial in situations where a snap-in's data object does not provide the desired information.
In addition to providing CCF_DESCRIPTION and CCF_HTML_DETAILS property values, a snap-in can use INodeProperties to provide values for other text-based properties (for example, with a new view extension).
