Quick Info

See IMAPITable : IUnknown.

HRESULT CollapseRow(
  ULONG cbInstanceKey,   
  LPBYTE pbInstanceKey,  
  ULONG ulFlags,         
  ULONG FAR * lpulRowCount  
);

Parameters

cbInstanceKey: [in] Count of bytes in the PR_INSTANCE_KEY property pointed to by the pbInstanceKey parameter.
pbInstanceKey: [in] Pointer to the PR_INSTANCE_KEY property that identifies the heading row for the category.
ulFlags: Reserved; must be zero.
lpulRowCount: [out] Pointer to the total number of rows that are being removed from the table view.

Return Values

S_OK: The collapse operation has succeeded.
MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND: The row identified by the pbInstanceKey parameter does not exist.
MAPI_E_INVALID_ENTRYID: The row identified by the pbInstanceKey parameter does not exist. This error is an alternative to MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND; service providers can return either one.

Remarks

The IMAPITable::CollapseRow method collapses a table category and removes it from the table view. The rows are collapsed starting at the row identified by the PR_INSTANCE_KEY property pointed to by the pbInstanceKey parameter. The number of rows that are removed from the view is returned in the contents of the lpulRowCount parameter.

Notifications are never generated for table rows that are removed from a view as the result of a collapse operation.

When a row that is defined by a bookmark is collapsed out of view, the bookmark is moved to point to the next visible row.
