Using Parameter Blocks

  • Article

A parameter block provides data storage for a property table. A parameter block is a user-defined structure that includes:

  • One member for each property. The structure may store properties as actual data values or as pointers to the data.
  • Additional members, as needed, for storing miscellaneous non-property information.

Example

The following example shows two parameter blocks for a Generic Application resource:

//
// Parameter block for a Generic Application resource.
// This example contains only property data (see below)
//
typedef struct CLUSDOCEX_GENAPP_PARAMS {

    LPWSTR CommandLine;         // CommandLine property

    LPWSTR CurrentDirectory;    // CurrentDirectory property

    DWORD  UseNetworkName;      // UseNetworkName property

    DWORD  InteractWithDesktop; // InteractWithDesktop property

} 
CLUSDOCEX_GENAPP_PARAMS, *PCLUSDOCEX_GENAPP_PARAMS;


//
// Another parameter block for a Generic Application resource.
// This example contains both property and non-property data.
//
typedef struct CLUSDOCEX_GENAPP_PARAMS2 
{
    LPWSTR ApplicationName;          // non-property data.

    LPWSTR CommandLineName;          // non-property data (stores the name of the property).
    LPWSTR CommandLineValue;         // property data.

    LPWSTR CurrentDirectoryName;     // non-property data.
    LPWSTR CurrentDirectoryValue;    // property data.
    
    LPWSTR UseNetworkNameName;       // non-property data.
    DWORD  UseNetworkNameValue;      // property data.
    
    LPWSTR InteractWithDesktopName;  // non-property data.
    DWORD  InteractWithDesktopValue; // property data.

}
CLUSDOCEX_GENAPP_PARAMS2, *PCLUSDOCEX_GENAPP_PARAMS2;
