This function retrieves information about an object in the object store or a mounted database volume. A remote application interface (RAPI) version of this function exists, and it is also called CeOidGetInfoEx.

BOOL CeOidGetInfoEx(
PCEGUID
pceguid
,

CEOID
oid
,
CEOIDINFO *
poidInfo
);

Parameters

pceguid

[in] Pointer to the CEGUIDthat contains the globally unique identifier of a mounted database.

oid

[in] Identifier of the object for which information is to be retrieved.

poidInfo

[out] Pointer to a CEOIDINFOstructure that contains information about the object.

Return Values

TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError. GetLastErrormay return ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE if the specified object identifier is invalid.

Remarks

The difference between CeOidGetInfoand CeOidGetInfoExis that CeOidGetInforetrieves information about objects only in the object store databases, while CeOidGetInfoExretrieves information about any object in mounted database volumes in addition to the object store databases.

Note Earlier versions (2.12 and prior) of Windows CE assigned OIDs to objects in other file systems, such as the FAT file system. These OIDs were guaranteed to be unique within a volume, but not across multiple volumes. Effective with version 3.0, only objects in the object store have valid, unique OIDs and the object store is the only volume that can return an object identifier.
