This function opens an enumeration context that enables an application to enumerate all databases in the object store. This function is obsolete. Applications should call CeFindNextDatabaseExinstead.

A remote application interface (RAPI) version of this function exists, and it is also named CeFindFirstDatabase.

HANDLE
CeFindFirstDatabase(
DWORD
dwDbaseType
);

Parameters

dwDbaseType

[in] Specifies the type identifier of the databases to enumerate. If this parameter is zero, all databases are enumerated.

Return Values

A handle to an enumeration context indicates success. INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE indicates failure. To get extended error information within a Windows CE program, call GetLastError. GetLastErrormay return ERROR_OUTOFMEMORY if no memory is available to allocate a database handle.

This function returns only the handle to an enumeration context. To begin enumerating databases, an application must call the CeFindNextDatabaseExfunction. When an application is done with the handle to the enumeration context, an application uses CloseHandleto release the resources associated with the enumeration context.
