MemberExists

Description

Determines whether the named member is part of an OLE object in a storage. The member can be another OLE object (a substorage) or a stream.

Applies to

OLEStorage objects

Syntax

olestorage.MemberExists ( membername, exists )

Argument

Description

olestorage

The name of an object variable of type OLEStorage that you want to check

membername

A string whose value is the name of the member that you want to check

exists

A boolean variable that will store whether or not the member exists


Return value

Integer.

Returns 0 if it succeeds and one of the following negative values if an error occurs:

-1 -- The storage is not open

-9 -- Other error

If any argument's value is null, MemberExists returns null.

Examples

This example creates a storage object and opens an OLE object in a file. It checks whether wordobj is a substorage within that object and, if so, deletes it and saves the object back to the file:

boolean lb_memexists
integer result
 
stg_stuff = CREATE OLEStorage
stg_stuff.Open("c:\ole2\mystuff.ole")
 
stg_stuff.MemberExists("wordobj", lb_memexists)
IF lb_memexists THEN
    result = stg_stuff.MemberDelete("wordobj")
    IF result = 0 THEN stg_stuff.Save( )
END IF
