IADsPathname Property Methods
The property methods of the IADsPathname interface get or set the EscapedMode properties. For more information, see Interface Property Methods.
Properties
-
EscapedMode
-
-
Access type: Read/write
-
Scripting data type: Long
-
// C++ method syntax HRESULT get_EscapedMode( [out] long* retval ); HRESULT get_EscapedMode( [in] long* lnEscapedMode );
Examine or specify how escaped characters are handled in a pathname. For more information and defined options, see ADS_ESCAPE_MODE_ENUM.
-
Remarks
EscapedMode represents a state. You can turn it on or off, by setting it to ADS_ESCAPEDMODE_ON or ADS_ESCAPEDMODE_OFF/ADS_ESCAPEDMODE_OFF_EX. When it is turned on, or off, all subsequent retrievals produce escaped or unescaped path strings.
In ADSI only the IADsPathname is capable of unescaping paths. All other ADSI interfaces always return escaped paths. The default state of EscapedMode is ADS_ESCAPEDMODE_DEFAULT as defined in ADS_ESCAPE_MODE_ENUM.
Examples
The following code example shows how to use the EscapedMode property turn on/off escaping of the following three special characters: "=",",", and "/".
Dim path As New Pathname
path.Set "CN=joy\=ful\,\/*", ADS_SETTYPE_DN
path.EscapedMode = ADS_ESCAPEDMODE_ON
MsgBox path.Retrieve(ADS_FORMAT_WINDOWS) ' All escaped, producing:
' "LDAP://CN=joy\=ful\,\/*"
path.EscapedMode = ADS_ESCAPEMODE_OFF
MsgBox path.Retrieve(ADS_FORMAT_WINDOWS) ' Only "/" is unescaped:
' "LDAP://CN=joy\=ful\,/*"
path.EscapedMode = ADS_ESCAPEDMODE_OFF_EX
MsgBox path.Retrieve(ADS_FORMAT_WINDOWS) ' All are unescaped:
' "LDAP://CN=joy=ful,/*"
path.Set "LDAP://CN=joy\=ful\,\/*", ADS_SETTYPE_FULL
path.EscapedMode = ADS_ESCAPEDMODE_ON
MsgBox path.Retrieve(ADS_FORMAT_WINDOWS)
' Produces "LDAP://CN=joy\=ful\,\/*"
path.EscapedMode = ADS_ESCAPEMODE_OFF
MsgBox path.Retrieve(ADS_FORMAT_WINDOWS)
' Produces "LDAP://CN=joy\=ful\,/*"
path.EscapedMode = ADS_ESCAPEMODE_OFF_EX
MsgBox path.Retrieve(ADS_FORMAT_WINDOWS)
' Produces "LDAP://CN=joy=ful,/*"

The following code example shows how to work with the EscapedMode property. Error checking is ignored.
IADsPathname *pPathname=NULL;
HRESULT hr;
hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_Pathname,
NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IADsPathname,
(void**)&pPathname);
if(FAILED(hr))
{
if(pPathname) pPathname->Release();
return NULL;
}
pPathname->AddRef();
hr = pPathname->Set(CComBSTR("LDAP://CN=joy/ful\/*"),
ADS_SETTYPE_FULL);
hr = pPathname->put_EscapedMode(ADS_ESCAPEDMODE_OFF);
hr = pPathname->Retrieve(ADS_FORMAT_WINDOWS_DN,&bstr);
printf("Unescaped path: %S\n",bstr);
// Producing "LDAP://CN=joy/ful/*"
SysFreeString(bstr);
hr = pPathname->put_EscapedMode(ADS_ESCAPEDMODE_ON);
hr = pPathname->Retrieve(ADS_FORMAT_WINDOWS_DN,&bstr);
printf("Escaped path: %S\n",bstr);
// Producing "LDAP://CN=joy/ful\/*"
