CeFindNextDatabaseEx

  • Article

This function retrieves the next database in an enumeration context. CeFindNextDatabaseEx is a RAPI that enables an application that is running on a desktop computer to make function calls on a Microsoft® Windows® CE–based device.

STDAPI_(CEOID) CeFindNextDatabaseEx( 
  HANDLE hEnum,
  PCEGUID pceguid 
);

Parameters

  • hEnum
    [in] Handle returned from CeFindFirstDatabaseEx.
  • pceguid
    [in] Pointer to the CEGUID that contains the globally unique identifier (GUID) of a mounted database.

Return Values

A valid CEOID indicates success. Zero indicates failure or a lack of additional databases. Call CeGetLastError to get the extended error information. Possible values for CeGetLastError include the following:

  • ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS
    There are no more databases to enumerate.
  • ERROR_KEY_DELETED
    A database was deleted during enumeration.

Remarks

To find all matching databases, CeFindNextDatabaseEx (RAPI) is called in a loop until 0 is returned. If a database is deleted during an enumeration, CeFindNextDatabaseEx (RAPI) fails and returns the error ERROR_KEY_DELETED. If this error occurs, you must restart the enumeration with a call to CeFindFirstDatabaseEx (RAPI). When enumeration is complete, the hEnum handle must be closed by calling the CeCloseHandle function.

Note   Earlier versions of Windows 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

Pocket PC Platforms: Pocket PC 2000 and later
OS Versions: Windows CE 3.0 and later
Header: rapi.h
