IPropertyBag Interface

---

The IPropertyBag interface provides an object with a property bag in which the object can persistently save its properties.

IPropertyBag Methods

Read	Asks the property bag to read the named property into a caller-initialized VARIANT.
Write	Asks the property bag to save the named property into a caller-initialized VARIANT.

Interface Information

Inherits from	IUnknown
Header and IDL files	Ocidl.h; Ocidl.idl
Minimum availability	Internet Explorer 4.0
Minimum operating systems	Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0

Remarks

When the object wishes to read a property in IPersistPropertyBag::Load, it calls IPropertyBag::Read. When the object is saving properties in IPersistPropertyBag::Save, it calls IPropertyBag::Write. Each property is described with a name, whose value is stored in a VARIANT. This information allows a client to save the property values as text, for instance, which is the primary reason why a client might choose to support IPersistPropertyBag.

The client records errors that occur during Read into the supplied error log.
