IArray2 Interface

GetCount
GetAt
InsertAt
RemoveAt
Add
Find
InsertNew
SetCount
SetAt
RemoveAll

IArray2 is an expansion of IArray interface, which has added InsertNew method. It also can be used by environments which do not recognize IUnknown data type. IArray2 implementing a property has to be queried via the correspondent IArray.

See also Object Array Sample, Interface List

HRESULT GetCount(int * pnCount)

Parameters

pnCount- [out, retval] Reference to an integer variable which will be set to number of valid members in the array

Returns

S_OK in case of success.

HRESULT GetAt(int index, VARIANT* val)

Parameters

index - [in] index of the object to retrieve.

val - [out, retval] pointer to a VARIANTvariable, which will be assigned an appropriate  interface pointer, implemented by index-th object in the array.

Return Values

S_OK in case of success.

DISP_E_BADINDEX - if the index is out of the range

DISP_E_PARAMNOTOPTIONAL - if the object is not available.

Remarks:
 
The type vt of the VARIANT is VT_UNKNOWN. The returned value is contained in punkVal member of the VARIANT and has type of IUnknown.  This method gives access to index-th object in the array. Most often actual type of the interface is different from IUnknown and can be cast to the specific type, which is described for each specific use of the IArray interface. 

HRESULT InsertAt(int index, VARIANT* val)

Parameters

index - [in] index of the newly added object.

val - [in] VARIANT, containing a reference to an IUnknown interface to be inserted in the array. Depending on the specific type of objects in the array if the I Unknown reference is NULL a new default object will be inserted at the position. 

Returns

S_OK in case of success.

Remarks:
 This method will insert the reference to the object contained in the val at position index. All other members will be shifted up. Size of the array will be incremented by 1. The type vt of the VARIANT must be VT_UNKNOWN. The value must be contained in punkVal member of the VARIANT and have type of IUnknown.

HRESULT RemoveAt(int index)

Parameters

index - [in] index of the object to be removed..

Returns

S_OK in case of success.

Remarks:
Will remove the object at index position. 

HRESULT Add(VARIANT* val)

Parameters

val - [in] VARIANT, containing a reference to an I Unknown interface to be added to the array. Depending on the specific type of objects in the array if I Unknown reference is NULL a new default object added at the end of the array. 

Returns

S_OK in case of success.

Remarks:

The method will insert the reference to the object contained in the val at the end of the array. The type vt of the VARIANT must be VT_UNKNOWN. The value must be contained in punkVal member of the VARIANT and have type of IUnknown. 

HRESULT Find(VARIANT * val, int* pnIndex)

Parameters

val - [in] VARIANT, containing a reference to an I Unknown interface to be found in the array. Note that any interface of any type can be supplied for this parameter.

pnIndex - [out] Reference to an integer variable, which will receive 0-based index of the object in the array or -1 if not found.

Returns

S_OK. - Always.

Remarks:

If the array contains the object implementing the IUnknown reference, contained in the val,  its 0- based index will be returned in pnIndex. Otherwise pnIndex will be set to -1.

HRESULT InsertNew(int type, int indexAt)

Parameters

type - [in] Depending on context when there several types of object can be kept in the array this parameters identifies type of the object, which is requested to be created and inserted in the array. Documentation for specific property describes valid values for this parameter.

indexAt - [in] 0-based index of the new object in the array. It must be between 0 and the current size of array.

Returns

S_OK. - If succeeded.

DISP_E_BADINDEX - when indexAt is negative or exceeds the current size of the array.

Remarks:

The method creates a new object of type type. In the context when only one type of object can be added to the array type parameter is ignored and can be set to any non-negative integer. Documentation for specific property describes valid values for this parameter.

HRESULT SetCount(int count)

Parameters

count - [in] New size of the array.

Returns

S_OK. - If succeeded.

ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED - when count is greater than the current size and there is no default constructor of new objects for the array

Remarks:

When count is greater than the current size the method creates a number of new default objects and add them to the array. If there is no default constructor of new objects for the array the method returns error code ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED.

When count is less than the current size the last several objects are removed from the array. The remaining elements will not change any properties. count can be zero, which empties the array.

Use SetCount(0) to remove all elements from the array.

HRESULT SetAt(int index, VARIANT* val)

Parameters

index - [in] 0-based index of in the array. It must be less than the current size of the array.

val - [in] VARIANT, containing a reference to an IUnknown interface to be stored in the array.

HRESULT RemoveAll()

Empties the array.
