IStreamConcatenate::Initialize2 method (imapi2.h)

  • Article

Initializes this stream from an array of input streams.

Syntax

HRESULT Initialize2(
  [in] IStream **streams,
  [in] ULONG   streamCount
);

Parameters

[in] streams

Array of IStream interfaces of the streams to add to this stream.

[in] streamCount

Number of streams in streams.

Return value

S_OK is returned on success, but other success codes may be returned as a result of implementation. The following error codes are commonly returned on operation failure, but do not represent the only possible error values:

Return code Description
E_POINTER
 Pointer is not valid.

Value: 0x80004003
E_OUTOFMEMORY
 Failed to allocate the required memory.

Value: 0x8007000E
E_INVALIDARG

Value: 0x80070057

Remarks

When using the IStreamConcatenate interface, the following scenarios will result in undefined behaviors, and should be avoided:

  • Each partial stream composing the MsftStreamConcatenate object is actually the same stream.
  • Any of the concatenated streams are modified (read from, written to, or seeked on) outside of IMAPI.
