IHTMLStorage::commit Method

New for Windows Internet Explorer 8

Note: This documentation is preliminary and is subject to change.

Writes pending changes to persistent storage.

Syntax

HRESULT commit(VOID);

Return Value

Returns S_OK if successful, or an error value otherwise.

Remarks

After calling IHTMLStorage::begin to start a storage transaction, changes to the collection are not saved to disk until commit is called.

Internet Explorer uses XML files to store global storage. Disk writes occur asynchronously; however, to provide more fine-grained control of data consistency, the begin and commit methods can be used to defer disk writes.
