Special configuration functions are used to pack and unpack extension data. The HrCfgPackData function packs extension data (converts an array of SPropValue structures into a binary stream) before you write it to the directory. The HrCfgUnpackData function unpacks this data after you read it from the directory. For more information, see the EDKCFG.H file.
Configuration Functions
| Function | Purpose |
|---|---|
| HrCfgCreateAdviseObj | Begins monitoring a MAPI session for changes to extension data. Should be called once to create an advise object to register for notifications for the MAPI session to be monitored. Then, HrCfgAdvise should be called once for each extension data section (each of the values in a multivalued extension data property) being monitored. If nPollInterval == 0, no monitoring thread is created, and the user must do polling manually by calling HrCfgPollAdviseObj. |
| HrCfgPollAdviseObj | Checks an advise object against what is stored in the directory. Calls the notification routines if there are any changes. |
| HrCfgDestroyAdviseObj | Ends monitoring of a MAPI session. Calls HrCfgUnadvise for any extension data sections that are actively being monitored. |
| HrCfgAdvise | Begins monitoring of an extension data section. When the extension data changes, the specified callback routine is called. The callback routine will be called once from HrCfgAdvise to set the initial extension data values. |
| HrCfgUnadvise | Ends monitoring of an extension data section. |
| HrCfgPackData | Takes a configuration name and a set of MAPI properties and packs them into a binary buffer suitable to be saved in the directory information tree for the gateway or other object. |
| HrCfgUnpackData | Takes a packed binary buffer and unpacks it to yield a configuration name, number of properties, and an array of MAPI properties. |
| HrOpenSiteContainer | Takes a pointer to a MAPI session and returns an IMAPIProp interface for the current site object. |
| HrOpenSiteContainerAddressing | Takes a pointer to a MAPI session and returns an IMAPIProp interface for the current site addressing object. |
| HrOpenSessionObject | Takes a pointer to a MAPI session and returns an IMAPIProp interface on the directory object associated with the session. |
| HrCfgPropertyTagFromNameId | Takes a pointer to an IMAPIProp interface and a name identifier, and returns the MAPI property tag that represents the given name identifier for that interface. |
