Syntax

Copy

HRESULT UrlGetPart(

  __in     PCTSTR pszIn,

  __out    PTSTR pszOut,

Parameters

pszIn [in]

Type: PCTSTR

A null-terminated string of maximum length INTERNET_MAX_URL_LENGTH that contains the URL.

pszOut [out]

Type: PTSTR

A pointer to a buffer that, when this function returns successfully, receives a null-terminated string with the specified part of the URL.

pcchOut [in, out]

Type: DWORD*

A pointer to a value that, on entry, is set to the number of characters in the pszOut buffer. When this function returns successfully, the value depends on whether the function is successful or returns E_POINTER. For other return values, the value of this parameter is meaningless.

dwPart

Type: DWORD

The flags that specify which part of the URL to retrieve. It can have one of the following values.

URL_PART_HOSTNAME

The host name.

URL_PART_PASSWORD

The password.

URL_PART_PORT

The port number.

URL_PART_QUERY

The query portion of the URL.

URL_PART_SCHEME

The URL scheme.

URL_PART_USERNAME

The username.

dwFlags

Type: DWORD

A flag that can be set to keep the URL scheme, in addition to the part that is specified by dwPart.

URL_PARTFLAG_KEEPSCHEME

Keep the URL scheme.

Return Value

Type: HRESULT

Returns S_OK if successful. The value pointed to by pcchOut will be set to the number of characters written to the output buffer, excluding the terminating NULL. If the buffer was too small, E_POINTER is returned, and the value pointed to by pcchOut will be set to the minimum number of characters that the buffer must be able to contain, including the terminating NULL character. Otherwise, a COM error value is returned.
