The PR_CONTAINER_HIERARCHY property contains an embedded hierarchy table object that provides information about the child containers.
| Header file: | MAPITAGS.H |
| Must be exposed by: | Address book container and folder objects |
| Identifier: | 0x360E |
| Property type: | PT_OBJECT |
| Property tag: | 0x360E000D |
The PR_CONTAINER_HIERARCHY property can be excluded in IMAPIProp::CopyTo operations or included in IMAPIProp::CopyProps operations. As a property of type PT_OBJECT, it cannot be successfully retrieved by the IMAPIProp::GetProps method; its contents should be accessed by the IMAPIProp::OpenProperty method, requesting the IID_IMAPITable interface identifier. Service providers must report it to the IMAPIProp::GetPropList method if it is set, but can optionally report it or not if it is not set.
To retrieve table contents, a client application should call the IMAPIContainer::GetHierarchyTable method. For more information, see Hierarchy Tables.
The PR_CONTAINER_CONTENTS, PR_CONTAINER_HIERARCHY, and PR_FOLDER_ASSOCIATED_CONTENTS properties are similar in usage. Several MAPI properties provide access to tables:
| Property | Table |
|---|---|
| PR_CONTAINER_CONTENTS | Contents table |
| PR_CONTAINER_HIERARCHY | Hierarchy table |
| PR_FOLDER_ASSOCIATED_CONTENTS | Associated contents table |
| PR_MESSAGE_ATTACHMENTS | Attachment table |
| PR_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS | Recipient table |
