ISCardTypeConv::FreeIStreamMemoryPtr method

[The FreeIStreamMemoryPtr method is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. It is not available for use in Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and later, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and subsequent versions of the operating system. The Smart Card Modules provide similar functionality.]

The FreeIStreamMemoryPtr method frees the byte pointer pointing to the HGLOBAL memory block managed by an IStream COM interface.

Syntax

HRESULT FreeIStreamMemoryPtr(
  [in] LPSTREAM pStrm,
  [in] LPBYTE   pMem
);

Parameters

pStrm [in]

Pointer to the IStream interface that manages the memory block pointed to by pMem.

pMem [in]

Pointer to the memory block managed by the IStream interface.

Return value

The method returns one of the following possible values:

Return code Description
S_OK
Memory allocated successfully.
E_INVALIDARG
There is something wrong with one or more of the parameters passed into the function.
E_POINTER
A parameter of pointer type was incorrect.
E_OUTOFMEMORY
Not enough free memory to satisfy request.

 

Remarks

This function completely and cleanly releases the byte pointer pointing to the HGLOBAL memory block managed by the IStream interface. The byte pointer is acquired by a call to GetAtIStreamMemory.
