IHomePageSetting::SetHomePage method

Deprecated. Requests permission to change the user's home page.

Syntax

HRESULT SetHomePage(
  [in] HWND    hwnd,
  [in] LPCWSTR homePageUri,
  [in] LPCWSTR brandingMessage
);

Parameters

hwnd [in]

Window handle to use for the confirmation dialog box or NULL to specify no handle.

homePageUri [in]

URI for the new home page. Must resolve to a valid URI string.

brandingMessage [in]

The brand associated with the application or the program requesting the change. This is displayed in the confirmation dialog.

If this parameter value is set to NULL, the domain of the homePageUri parameter is displayed instead.

Return value

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

When called for selected devices, this method displays a confirmation dialog box that asks the user to confirm the change. If the user denies permission or cancels the dialog, an error is returned and the home page is not changed. For devices that do not require permission, the home page is handled without user involved. Note that the request may still fail for other reasons, such as group policy settings.

Examples

int __cdecl wmain(__in int argc, __in_ecount(argc) WCHAR* argv[])
{
    BOOL fComInitialized = FALSE;
    if (argc != 3 && argc != 2)
    {
        DisplayUsage();
    }
    else if (SUCCEEDED(CoInitialize(NULL)))
    {
        fComInitialized = TRUE;
        CComPtr<IHomePageSetting> spHPSetting;
        HRESULT hr = spHPSetting.CoCreateInstance(CLSID_HomePageSetting);
        if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
        {
            if (argc == 2)
            {
                hr = spHPSetting->SetHomePage(NULL, argv[1], NULL);
            }
            else
            {
                hr = spHPSetting->SetHomePage(NULL, argv[1], argv[2]);
            }
        }
    }
    if (fComInitialized)
    {
        CoUninitialize();
    }
    return 0;
}
