3/26/2014

This method reads a specified number of bytes from the stream object into memory, starting at the current seek pointer.

Syntax

HRESULT Read( 
  void* pv, 
  ULONG cb, 
  ULONG* pcbRead 
);

Parameters

• pv
  [out] Pointer to the buffer into which the stream data is read. If an error occurs, this value is NULL.

• cb

• pcbRead
  [out] Pointer to a ULONG variable that receives the actual number of bytes read from the stream object.
