This method deletes a record from a database on a remote Windows Embedded CE–based device.

Syntax 

BOOL CeDeleteRecord(
  HANDLE 
hDatabase, 
  CEOID 
oidRecord 
);

Parameters

hDatabase

[in] Handle to the database from which the record is to be deleted. The database must first be opened by calling the IRAPISession::CeOpenDatabasemethod.

oidRecord

[in] Object identifier of the record to be deleted. This identifier can be obtained by calling the IRAPISession::CeReadRecordPropsmethod .

Return Value

Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call IRAPISession::CeGetLastErrorand IRAPISession::CeRapiGetError. IRAPISession::CeGetLastErrorwill return ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERif the handle or object identifier is invalid.

Remarks

If the CEDB_AUTOINCREMENTflag is not specified when the database is opened, and the record being deleted is the current record, the next read operation that uses the database handle will fail. If the CEDB_AUTOINCREMENTflag is specified, the system automatically moves the current seek pointer forward by one.

Note:
Earlier versions of Windows Embedded CE assigned object identifiers to objects in other file systems, such as the file allocation table (FAT) file system. These object identifiers 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 object identifiers and the object store is the only volume that can return an object identifier.

Requirements

Header rapi2.h
Library ole32.lib, rapiuuid.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows Embedded CE 6.0 and later
Windows Mobile Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later
