Syntax

typedef enum PROPDESC_AGGREGATION_TYPE {
  PDAT_DEFAULT = 0,
  PDAT_FIRST = 1,
  PDAT_SUM = 2,
  PDAT_AVERAGE = 3,
  PDAT_DATERANGE = 4,
  PDAT_UNION = 5,
  PDAT_MAX = 6,
  PDAT_MIN = 7
} ;

Constants

 
PDAT_DEFAULT
Value: 0
Display the string "Multiple Values".
PDAT_FIRST
Value: 1
Display the first value in the selection.
PDAT_SUM
Value: 2
Display the sum of the selected values. This flag is never returned for data types VT_LPWSTR, VT_BOOL, and VT_FILETIME.
PDAT_AVERAGE
Value: 3

PDAT_DATERANGE
Value: 4
Display the date range of the selected values. This flag is returned only for values of the VT_FILETIME data type.
PDAT_UNION
Value: 5
