This method returns the size, in bytes, of the stream needed to save the object.

Syntax 

HRESULT GetSizeMax(
  ULARGE_INTEGER* 
pcbSize 
);

Parameters

pcbSize

[out] Pointer to a 64-bit unsigned integer value indicating the size, in bytes, of the stream needed to save this object.

Return Value

If the size was successfully returned, the method returns S_OK.

Remarks

This method returns the size needed to save an object.

You can call this method to determine the size and set the necessary buffers before calling the IPersistStream::Savemethod.

To determine whether the platform supports this interface, see Determining Supported COM APIs.

Notes to Implementers

The GetSizeMaximplementation should return a conservative estimate of the necessary size because the caller might call the IPersistStream::Savemethod with a non-growable stream.

Requirements

Header objidl.h, objidl.idl
Library ole32.lib, uuid.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE 3.0 and later
Windows Mobile Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later
