Converts a message store's internal entry identifier to an entry identifier more usable by the messaging system.

Header file:	Mapidefs.h
Implemented by:	MAPI
Called by:	Client applications and service providers

WrapStoreEntryID(
  ULONG ulFlags,
  LPTSTR szDLLName,
  ULONG cbOrigEntry,
  LPENTRYID lpOrigEntry,
  ULONG * lpcbWrappedEntry,
  LPENTRYID * lppWrappedEntry
);

Parameters

• ulFlags
  [in] Bitmask of flags. The following flag can be set:

  • MAPI_UNICODE
    The strings are in Unicode format. If the MAPI_UNICODE flag is not set, the strings are in ANSI format.

• szDLLName
  [in] The name of the message store provider DLL.

• cbOrigEntry
  [in] Size, in bytes, of the original entry identifier for the message store.

• lpOrigEntry
  [in] Pointer to an ENTRYID structure that contains the original entry identifier.

• lpcbWrappedEntry
  [out] Pointer to the size, in bytes, of the new entry identifier.

• lppWrappedEntry
  [out] Pointer to a pointer to an ENTRYID structure that contains the new entry identifier.

Return Value

None.

Remarks

A message store object retains an internal entry identifier which is meaningful only to service providers coresident with that message store. For other messaging components, MAPI supplies a wrapped version of the internal entry identifier that makes it recognizable as that belong to the message store. Coresident service providers should always be given the original unwrapped message store entry identifier; client applications should always be given the wrapped version, which is then usable anywhere in the messaging domain and in other domains.

A service provider can wrap a message store entry identifier using either the WrapStoreEntryID function or the IMAPISupport::WrapStoreEntryID method, which calls the WrapStoreEntryID function. The provider must wrap the entry identifier when exposing the message store's PR_ENTRYID (PidTagEntryId) property or writing it into a profile section, and when exposing the PR_STORE_ENTRYID (PidTagStoreEntryId) property. MAPI wraps a message store entry identifier when responding to an IMAPISession::OpenMsgStore call.

When a client application passes a wrapped message store entry identifier to MAPI, for example in an IMAPISession::OpenEntry call, MAPI unwraps the entry identifier before using it to call a provider method such as IMSProvider::Logon or IMSProvider::CompareStoreIDs.
