FILTERED_DATA_SOURCES structure (filtereg.h)

  • Article

Specifies parameters for a Shell data source for which a filter is loaded.

Syntax

typedef struct _FILTERED_DATA_SOURCES {
  const WCHAR *pwcsExtension;
  const WCHAR *pwcsMime;
  const CLSID *pClsid;
  const WCHAR *pwcsOverride;
} FILTERED_DATA_SOURCES;

Members

pwcsExtension

Pointer to a buffer that contains a file name extension.

pwcsMime

Pointer to a buffer that contains the name of a MIME type.

pClsid

Pointer to a CLSID that identifies the content type.

pwcsOverride

Not implemented.

Remarks

A filter, also known as a filter handler, is an implementation of the IFilter interface.

FILTERED_DATA_SOURCES can hold one file content identifier of each type. CLSIDs are always searched first, followed by the file name extension, then MIME type, and finally the path.
