ulSize

Size of the MAPIOFFLINE_NOTIFY structure.

NotifyType

Type of notification. Note that only notification on change of the connection state is supported; the only supported values are:

• MAPIOFFLINE_NOTIFY_TYPE_STATECHANGE_START

• MAPIOFFLINE_NOTIFY_TYPE_STATECHANGE

• MAPIOFFLINE_NOTIFY_TYPE_STATECHANGE_DONE

ulClientToken

A token defined by the client in the MAPIOFFLINE_ADVISEINFO structure in IMAPIOfflineMgr::Advise.

ulMask

The part of the connection state that has changed. The only supported value is MAPIOFFLINE_STATE_OFFLINE_MASK.

ulStateOld

The old connection state. The only supported values are:

• MAPIOFFLINE_STATE_OFFLINE

• MAPIOFFLINE_STATE_ONLINE

ulStateNew

The new connection state. The only supported values are:

• MAPIOFFLINE_STATE_OFFLINE

• MAPIOFFLINE_STATE_ONLINE

The Offline State API supports only notifications for online/offline changes. A client must check that Outlook returns the following values before examining the actual change:

1. NotifyType has the value MAPIOFFLINE_NOTIFY_TYPE_STATECHANGE_START, MAPIOFFLINE_NOTIFY_TYPE_STATECHANGE, or MAPIOFFLINE_NOTIFY_TYPE_STATECHANGE_DONE. In this case, the client can assume that the change is a connection state change, and Info is of the structure StateChange.

2. ulMask has the value MAPIOFFLINE_STATE_OFFLINE_MASK. In this case, the client can assume that the change is an online/offline connection state change, and can proceed with examining ulStateOld and ulStateNew.

It is possible that Outlook notifies a client of other changes that are not supported. In such cases, NotifyType would not be any one of the three values stated previously, or ulMask would not be MAPIOFFLINE_STATE_OFFLINE_MASK, and the client must ignore the rest of the data in Info.
