IAccPropServices::ClearProps method (oleacc.h)

Servers use ClearProps to restore default values to properties of accessible elements that they had previously annotated.

If servers know the HWND of the object they want to clear, they can use IAccPropServices::ClearHwndProps.

Syntax

HRESULT ClearProps(
  [in] const BYTE       *pIDString,
  [in] DWORD            dwIDStringLen,
  [in] const MSAAPROPID *paProps,
  [in] int              cProps
);

Parameters

[in] pIDString

Type: const BYTE*

Identify the accessible element that is to be un-annotated.

[in] dwIDStringLen

Type: DWORD

Length of pIDString.

[in] paProps

Type: const MSAAPROPID*

Specify an array of properties that is to be reset. These properties will revert to the default behavior they displayed before they were annotated.

[in] cProps

Type: int

Size of paProps array.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If successful, returns S_OK, even if the specified properties were never annotated on the accessible object; clearing already cleared properties is considered a success.

Returns E_INVALIDARG if any of the properties in the paProps array are not supported.

May return other error codes under exceptional error conditions such as low memory.

Remarks

See the support section for a list of supported properties and their expected types.

Clearing the annotation for a property will cause any associated resources to be released. If a callback property server was used (see SetPropServer), it will be released.
