Platform SDK: Certificate Enrollment Control

ICEnroll::RootStoreType [C++]

CEnroll.RootStoreType [Visual Basic]

The RootStoreType property specifies the type of store to use for the store specified by the RootStoreName property. The value for RootStoreType is passed directly on to CertOpenStore. By default, this value is sz_CERT_STORE_PROV_SYSTEM.

Currently only system stores are supported.

[Visual Basic]
objEnroll.RootStoreType [ = Type ]
[C++]
HRESULT put_RootStoreType(BSTR Type);
HRESULT get_RootStoreType(BSTR * pType);

Parameters

[Visual Basic] objEnroll
Object expression that resolves to a CEnroll object.
[Visual Basic,C++] Type
The string value assigned to the RootStoreType property. It is one of the following currently supported store provider types:
Store provider type Value
sz_CERT_STORE_PROV_SYSTEM_W "System"
sz_CERT_STORE_PROV_SYSTEM "System"

[C++] pType
Pointer to retrieved property value.

Remarks

RootStoreType affects the behavior of the following methods:

Example Code [C++]

BSTR     bstrStoreType = NULL;
HRESULT  hr;

// pEnroll is previously instantiated ICEnroll interface pointer

// get the storetype
hr = pEnroll->get_RootStoreType( &bstrStoreType );
if ( FAILED ( hr ) )
    printf("Failed getting RootStoreType - %x\n", hr );
else
    printf( "RootStoreType: %ws\n", bstrStoreType );
// free BSTR when done
if ( NULL != bstrStoreType )
    SysFreeString( bstrStoreType );

// set the storetype
// bstrNewType previously set to a valid store type
hr = pEnroll->put_RootStoreType( bstrNewType );
if ( FAILED ( hr ) )
    printf("Failed setting RootStoreType - %x\n", hr );
else
    printf( "RootStoreType was set to %ws\n", bstrNewType ); 

Example Code [Visual Basic]

' declare Certificate Enrollment Control object
Dim objXen As Object

Dim strStoreType As String

' instantiate the object
Set objXen = CreateObject("CEnroll.CEnroll.1")

' retrieve and display the RootStoreType
strStoreType = objXen.RootStoreType
MsgBox strStoreType, vbOKOnly, "RootStoreType"

' set the RootStoreType
' (strNewType previously set to a valid store type)
objXen.RootStoreType = strNewType
