IMMDevice::OpenPropertyStore

The OpenPropertyStore method retrieves an interface to the device's property store.

HRESULT OpenPropertyStore(
  DWORD  stgmAccess,
  IPropertyStore  **ppProperties
);

Parameters

stgmAccess

[in]  The storage-access mode. This parameter specifies whether to open the property store in read mode, write mode, or read/write mode. Set this parameter to one of the following STGM constants:

STGM_READ

STGM_WRITE

STGM_READWRITE

The method permits a client running as an administrator to open a store for read-only, write-only, or read/write access. A client that is not running as an administrator is restricted to read-only access. For more information about STGM constants, see the Windows SDK documentation.

ppProperties

[out]  Pointer to a pointer variable into which the method writes the address of the IPropertyStore interface of the device's property store. Through this method, the caller obtains a counted reference to the interface. The caller is responsible for releasing the interface, when it is no longer needed, by calling the interface's Release method. If the OpenPropertyStore call fails, *ppProperties is NULL. For more information about IPropertyStore, see the Windows SDK documentation.

Return Value

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, possible return codes include, but are not limited to, the values shown in the following table.

Return code Description
E_INVALIDARG Parameter stgmAccess is not a valid access mode.
E_POINTER Parameter ppProperties is NULL.
E_OUTOFMEMORY Out of memory.

Remarks

In general, the properties in the device's property store are read-only for clients that do not perform administrative, system, or service functions.
