This method evaluates the expression synchronously.

Syntax

HRESULT EvaluateSync(
    EVALFLAGS             dwFlags,
    DWORD                 dwTimeout,
    IDebugEventCallback2* pExprCallback,
    IDebugProperty2**     ppResult
);

int EvaluateSync(
    enum_EVALFLAGS       dwFlags,
    uint                 dwTimeout,
    IDebugEventCallback2 pExprCallback,
    out IDebugProperty2  ppResult
);

Parameters

dwFlags
[in] A combination of flags from the EVALFLAGS enumeration that control expression evaluation.

dwTimeout
[in] Maximum time, in milliseconds, to wait before returning from this method. Use INFINITE to wait indefinitely.

pExprCallback
[in]This parameter is always a null value.

ppResult
[out] Returns the IDebugProperty2 object that contains the result of the expression evaluation.

Return Value

If successful, returns S_OK; otherwise returns an error code. Some typical error codes are:

Error	Description
E_EVALUATE_BUSY_WITH_EVALUATION	Another expression is currently being evaluated, and simultaneous expression evaluation is not supported.
E_EVALUATE_TIMEOUT	Evaluation timed out.

Remarks

For synchronous evaluation, it is not necessary to send an event back to Visual Studio upon completion of the evaluation.

Example

The following example shows how to implement this method for a simple CExpression object that implements the IDebugExpression2 interface.

HRESULT CExpression::EvaluateSync(EVALFLAGS dwFlags,
                                  DWORD dwTimeout,
                                  IDebugEventCallback2* pExprCallback,
                                  IDebugProperty2** ppResult)
{
    // Set the aborted state to FALSE.
    m_bAborted = FALSE;
    // Delegate the evaluation to EvalExpression.
    return EvalExpression(TRUE, ppResult);
}

HRESULT CExpression::EvalExpression(BOOL bSynchronous,
                                    IDebugProperty2** ppResult)
{
    HRESULT hr;

    // Get the value of an environment variable.
    PCSTR pszVal = m_pEnvBlock->GetEnv(m_pszVarName);
    // Create and initialize a CEnvVar object with the retrieved value.
    // CEnvVar implements the IDebugProperty2 interface.
    CComObject<CEnvVar> *pEnvVar;
    CComObject<CEnvVar>::CreateInstance(&pEnvVar);
    pEnvVar->Init(m_pszVarName, pszVal, m_pDoc);

    if (pszVal) {
        // Check for synchronous evaluation.
        if (bSynchronous) {
            // Set and AddRef the result, IDebugProperty2 interface.
            *ppResult = pEnvVar;
            (*ppResult)->AddRef();
            hr = S_OK;
        } else {
            //For asynchronous evaluation, send an evaluation complete event.
            CExprEvalEvent *pExprEvent = new CExprEvalEvent(this, pEnvVar);
            pExprEvent->SendEvent(m_pExprCallback, NULL, NULL, NULL);
        }
    } else {
        // If a valid value is not retrieved, return E_FAIL.
        hr = E_FAIL;
    }
    return hr;
}
