IShellFolderSearchable::InvalidateSearch method

Makes this pointer to an item identifier list (PIDL) an invalid portion of the Shell folder.

Syntax


HRESULT InvalidateSearch(
  [in] LPCITEMIDLIST pidlSearch,
  [in] DWORD         *pdwFlags
);

Parameters

pidlSearch [in]

Type: LPCITEMIDLIST

A pointer to the ITEMIDLIST structure for the search folder.

Return value

When a search folder is invalidated, it can perform cleanup of any resources it has used. The IShellFolderSearchable::InvalidateSearch method may cause an asynchronous search to be canceled and will result in the eventual release of the IShellFolderSearchableCallback interface object.
