This method returns one of the following:

Return code Description
S_OK
 The icon overlay should be displayed.
S_FALSE
 The icon overlay should not be displayed.
E_FAIL
 The operation failed.

Remarks

The Shell calls this method to determine whether it should display a handler's icon overlay for a particular object. Icon overlay handlers are usually intended to work with a particular group of files. A typical example is a file type, identified by a specific file name extension. An icon overlay handler might request an icon overlay for all members of the file type. Some handlers request an icon overlay only if a member of the file type is in a particular state. However, icon overlay handlers are free to request their icon overlay for any object that they want.
