Updating Properties

Clients and service providers can update a property value by calling:

• An object's IMAPIProp::SetProps method to update the value of one or more of an object's properties.
• The HrSetOneProp function to update only one property at a time.

  Use HrSetOneProp only if the target object is local; this function can cause performance degradation when used with remote objects.

The following procedure illustrates how to use SetProps to update the message class, or PR_MESSAGE_CLASS property, of a message.

    To update the message class of a message

1. Allocate an SPropValue structure for the message class and set its members as appropriate.

SPropValue spvMsgClass;
spvMsgClass.ulPropTag = PR_MESSAGE_CLASS;
spvMsgClass.Value.lpszA = "IPM.NewClass";
 

2. Call the message's IMAPIProp::SetProps method to set the new message class.

hRes = lpMessage->SetProps(1, (LPSPropValue) &spvMsgClass, NULL);
