The CreateDirectoryObject method creates a new ITDirectoryObject object.

Syntax

HRESULT CreateDirectoryObject(
  [in]  DIRECTORY_OBJECT_TYPE DirectoryObjectType,
  [in]  BSTR                  pName,
  [out] ITDirectoryObject     **ppDirectoryObject
);

Parameters

[in] DirectoryObjectType

The type of the object. See DIRECTORY_OBJECT_TYPE.

[in] pName

Pointer to a BSTR containing the name of the object.

[out] ppDirectoryObject

Pointer to receive the interface pointer for the newly created ITDirectoryObject object.

Return value

This method can return one of these values.

Value	Meaning
S_OK	Method succeeded.
E_INVALIDARG	The DirectoryObjectType parameter is not valid.
E_OUTOFMEMORY	Insufficient memory exists to perform the operation.
E_POINTER	Pointer is invalid.

Remarks

The application must use SysAllocString to allocate memory for the pName parameter and use SysFreeString to free the memory when the variable is no longer needed.

TAPI calls the AddRef method on the ITDirectoryObject interface returned by ITRendezvous::CreateDirectoryObject. The application must call Release on the ITDirectoryObject interface to free resources associated with it.

This function may send data over the wire in unencrypted form; therefore, someone eavesdropping on the network may be able to read the data. The security risk of sending the data in clear text should be considered before using this method.
