IPropertyStorage::WritePropertyNames method (propidlbase.h)
The WritePropertyNames method assigns string IPropertyStorage names to a specified array of property IDs in the current property set.
Syntax
HRESULT WritePropertyNames(
[in] ULONG cpropid,
[in] const PROPID [] rgpropid,
[in] const LPOLESTR [] rglpwstrName
);
Parameters
[in] cpropid
The size on input of the array rgpropid. Can be zero. However, making it zero causes this method to become non-operational.
[in] rgpropid
An array of the property IDs for which names are to be set.
[in] rglpwstrName
An array of new names to be assigned to the corresponding property IDs in the rgpropid array. These names may not exceed 255 characters (not including the NULL terminator).
Return value
This method supports the standard return value E_UNEXPECTED, in addition to the following:
Remarks
For more information about property sets and memory management, see Managing Property Sets.
IPropertyStorage::WritePropertyNames assigns string names to property IDs passed to the method in the rgpropid array. It associates each string name in the rglpwstrName array with the respective property ID in rgpropid. It is explicitly valid to define a name for a property ID that is not currently present in the property storage object.
It is also valid to change the mapping for an existing string name (determined by a case-insensitive match). That is, you can use the WritePropertyNames method to map an existing name to a new property ID, or to map a new name to a property ID that already has a name in the dictionary. In either case, the original mapping is deleted. Property names must be unique (as are property IDs) within the property set.
The storage of string property names preserves the case. Unless PROPSETFLAG_CASE_SENSITIVE is passed to IPropertySetStorage::Create, property set names are case insensitive by default. With case-insensitive property sets, the name strings passed by the caller are interpreted according to the locale of the property set, as specified by the PID_LOCALE property. If the property set has no locale property, the current user is assumed by default. String property names are limited in length to 128 characters. Property names that begin with the binary Unicode characters 0x0001 through 0x001F are reserved for future use.
If the value of an element in the rgpropid array parameter is set to 0xffffffff (PID_ILLEGAL), the corresponding name is ignored by IPropertyStorage::WritePropertyNames. For example, if this method is called with a cpropid parameter of 3, but the first element of the array, rgpropid[1], is set to PID_ILLEGAL, then only two property names are written. The rgpropid[1] element is ignored.
