CCF_COLUMN_SET_ID clipboard format

The CCF_COLUMN_SET_ID clipboard format is introduced in MMC 1.2.

The CCF_COLUMN_SET_ID clipboard format enables a snap-in to specify a unique ID for a column set.

By default, when the user changes the column configuration data of a column set, MMC propagates the changes to other scope items with the same column set ID.

For more information about how CCF_COLUMN_SET_ID is used in column persistence, see Using Column Persistence.

Data Format

The CCF_COLUMN_SET_ID clipboard format uses the SColumnSetID structure. The dwFlags member is reserved for future use. The id member holds the start of a byte array of length cBytes, which acts as the column set ID.

Remarks

Supporting the CCF_COLUMN_SET_ID format is optional. A snap-in that supports this format must do so in its IDataObject::GetData implementation.

If a snap-in does not support the format, MMC will use the nodetypeGUID of the scope item associated with the column set for that identifies the column set.
