IVssComponentEx::GetPrepareForBackupFailureMsg method (vswriter.h)

2024-02-22

Returns the PrepareForBackup failure message string that a writer has set for a given component.

Both writers and requesters can call this method.

Syntax

HRESULT GetPrepareForBackupFailureMsg(
  [out] BSTR *pbstrFailureMsg
);

Parameters

[out] pbstrFailureMsg

A pointer to a null-terminated wide character string containing the failure message that describes an error that occurred while processing a PrepareForBackup event.

Return value

The following are the valid return codes for this method.

Value	Meaning
S_OK	The failure message was successfully obtained.
S_FALSE	No PrepareForBackup failure message was set for the component.
E_INVALIDARG	One of the parameter values is not valid.
E_OUTOFMEMORY	The caller is out of memory or other system resources.

Remarks

The caller is responsible for freeing the string that the pbstrFailureMsg parameter points to by calling the SysFreeString function.
