CDataPathProperty Class

The latest version of this topic can be found at CDataPathProperty Class.

Implements an OLE control property that can be loaded asynchronously.

Syntax

class CDataPathProperty : public CAsyncMonikerFile  

Members

Public Methods

Remarks

Asynchronous properties are loaded after synchronous initiation.

The class CDataPathProperty is derived from CAysncMonikerFile. To implement asynchronous properties in your OLE controls, derive a class from CDataPathProperty, and override OnDataAvailable.

CDataPathProperty::CDataPathProperty

Constructs a CDataPathProperty object.

CDataPathProperty(COleControl* pControl = NULL);  
CDataPathProperty(LPCTSTR lpszPath, COleControl* pControl = NULL);
```  
  
### Parameters  
 `pControl`  
 A pointer to the OLE control object to be associated with this `CDataPathProperty` object.  
  
 `lpszPath`  
 The path, which may be absolute or relative, used to create an asynchronous moniker that references the actual absolute location of the property. `CDataPathProperty` uses URLs, not filenames. If you want a `CDataPathProperty` object for a file, prepend `file://` to the path.  
  
### Remarks  
 The `COleControl` object pointed to by `pControl` is used by **Open** and retrieved by derived classes. If `pControl` is **NULL**, the control used with **Open** should be set with `SetControl`. If `lpszPath` is **NULL**, you can pass in the path through **Open** or set it with `SetPath`.  
  
##  <a name="cdatapathproperty__getcontrol"></a>  CDataPathProperty::GetControl  
 Call this member function to retrieve the `COleControl` object associated with the `CDataPathProperty` object.  
  

COleControl* GetControl();

  
### Return Value  
 Returns a pointer to the OLE control associated with the `CDataPathProperty` object. **NULL** if not control is associated.  
  
##  <a name="cdatapathproperty__getpath"></a>  CDataPathProperty::GetPath  
 Call this member function to retrieve the path, set when the `CDataPathProperty` object was constructed, or specified in **Open**, or specified in a previous call to the `SetPath` member function.  
  

CString GetPath() const;

  
### Return Value  
 Returns the pathname to the property itself. Can be empty if no path has been specified.  
  
##  <a name="cdatapathproperty__open"></a>  CDataPathProperty::Open  
 Call this member function to initiate loading of the asynchronous property for the associated control.  
  

virtual BOOL Open( COleControl* pControl,
CFileException* pError = NULL);

virtual BOOL Open( LPCTSTR lpszPath,
COleControl* pControl, CFileException* pError = NULL);

virtual BOOL Open( LPCTSTR lpszPath,
CFileException* pError = NULL);

virtual BOOL Open(CFileException* pError = NULL);

  
### Parameters  
 `pControl`  
 A pointer to the OLE control object to be associated with this `CDataPathProperty` object.  
  
 `pError`  
 A pointer to a file exception. In the event of an error, will be set to the cause.  
  
 `lpszPath`  
 The path, which may be absolute or relative, used to create an asynchronous moniker that references the actual absolute location of the property. `CDataPathProperty` uses URLs, not filenames. If you want a `CDataPathProperty` object for a file, prepend `file://` to the path.  
  
### Return Value  
 Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.  
  
### Remarks  
 The function attempts to obtain the `IBindHost` interface from the control.  
  
 Before calling **Open** without a path, the value for the property's path must be set. This can be done when the object is constructed, or by calling the `SetPath` member function.  
  
 Before calling **Open** without a control, an ActiveX control (formerly known as an OLE control) can be associated with the object. This can be done when the object is constructed, or by calling `SetControl`.  
  
 All overloads of [CAsyncMonikerFile::Open](../Topic/CAsyncMonikerFile%20Class.md#casyncmonikerfile__open) are also available from `CDataPathProperty`.  
  
##  <a name="cdatapathproperty__resetdata"></a>  CDataPathProperty::ResetData  
 Call this function to get `CAsyncMonikerFile::OnDataAvailable` to notify the container that the control properties have changed, and all the information loaded asynchronously is no longer useful.  
  

virtual void ResetData();

  
### Remarks  
 Opening should be restarted. Derived classes can override this function for different defaults.  
  
##  <a name="cdatapathproperty__setcontrol"></a>  CDataPathProperty::SetControl  
 Call this member function to associate an asynchronous OLE control with the `CDataPathProperty` object.  
  

void SetControl(COleControl* pControl);

  
### Parameters  
 `pControl`  
 A pointer to the asynchronous OLE control to be associated with the property.  
  
##  <a name="cdatapathproperty__setpath"></a>  CDataPathProperty::SetPath  
 Call this member function to set the pathname of the property.  
  

void SetPath(LPCTSTR lpszPath);

  
### Parameters  
 `lpszPath`  
 A path, which may be absolute or relative, to the property being loaded asynchronously. `CDataPathProperty` uses URLs, not filenames. If you want a `CDataPathProperty` object for a file, prepend `file://` to the path.
