ISimpleDataConverter::CanConvertData Method

Deprecated. Called by MSHTML to determine whether the data provider is capable of converting the specified data from one format to another.

Syntax

HRESULT CanConvertData(      
    long vt1,
    long vt2
);

Parameters

  • vt1
    [in] A long specifying the type from which the data is to be converted.
  • vt2
    [in] A long specifying the type to which the data is to be converted.

Return Value

Returns S_OK if the data provider can convert the data. Returns S_FALSE otherwise.

Remarks

Note  Windows Internet Explorer 7. This method is no longer available.

If the data provider returns S_OK, MSHTML makes a subsequent call to the data provider's implementation of ISimpleDataConverter::ConvertData to convert the actual data.

Use the VT_XXX defined values for VARIANT data types to specify vt1 and vt2.
