EvaluateCondition Method

EvaluateCondition Method

This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.

The workflow engine calls this method when the action table specifies a custom Component Object Model (COM) object as the condition on the matching row. The custom COM object must implement this method.

Applies To

ICustomActivity Interface

Type Library

Microsoft CDO Workflow Objects for Microsoft Exchange

DLL Implemented In

CDOWF.DLL

Syntax

[Visual Basic]Function EvaluateCondition
(
    pSession As WorkflowSession,     pResult As Boolean
)

[C++]HRESULT EvaluateCondition (     IWorkflowSessionpSession,     VARIANT_BOOLpResult );

Parameters

  • pSession

  • pResult
    Returns the condition as a reference to a VARIANT_BOOL.

Return Value

Returns S_OK if successful, or an error value otherwise.

Remarks

When your action table includes the programmatic identifier (PROGID) of a custom COM object as a condition, the workflow engine creates an instance of your COM object and calls the EvaluateCondition method that your COM object has implemented. COM objects can only be created in privileged-mode workflows, so the engine checks to see if this ProcessInstance belongs to a privileged-mode workflow. For more information, see the Mode Property.

Examples

To use this interface, you need to create your own COM object. If you implemented the following code in a dynamic-link library (DLL) and used the PROGID of your DLL in the Condition field of a row in your workflow action table, when the workflow engine used that row the following Condition would execute:

  • Return TRUE.

[Visual Basic]

Implements CDOWF.ICustomActivity

Sub ICustomActivity_CompensatingAction(ByVal pSession As CDOWF.IWorkflowSession)

End Sub

Function ICustomActivity_EvaluateCondition(ByVal pSession As CDOWF.IWorkflowSession) As Boolean

ICustomActivity_EvaluateCondition = True

End Function

Sub ICustomActivity_ExecuteAction(ByVal pSession As CDOWF.IWorkflowSession)

End Sub
