IOleUILinkContainer::SetLinkSource method
Changes the source of a link.
Syntax
HRESULT SetLinkSource( [in] DWORD dwLink, [in] LPTSTR lpszDisplayName, [in] ULONG lenFileName, [out] ULONG *pchEaten, [in] BOOL fValidateSource );
Parameters
- dwLink [in]
-
Container-defined unique identifier for a single link. See IOleUILinkContainer::GetNextLink.
- lpszDisplayName [in]
-
Pointer to new source string to be parsed.
- lenFileName [in]
-
Length of the leading file name portion of the lpszDisplayName string. If the link source is not stored in a file, then lenFileName should be 0. For OLE links, call IOleLink::GetSourceDisplayName.
- pchEaten [out]
-
Pointer to the number of characters successfully parsed in lpszDisplayName.
- fValidateSource [in]
-
TRUE if the moniker should be validated; for OLE links, MkParseDisplayName should be called. FALSE if the moniker should not be validated. If possible, the link should accept the unvalidated source, and mark itself as unavailable.
Return value
This method returns S_OK on success. Other possible return values include the following.
| Return code | Description |

The supplied identifier is invalid. |

Remarks
Notes to Callers
Call this method from the Change Source dialog box, with fValidateSource initially set to TRUE. Change Source can be called directly or from the Links dialog box. If this call to IOleUILinkContainer::SetLinkSource returns an error (e.g., MkParseDisplayName failed because the source was unavailable), then you should display an Invalid Link Source message, and the user should be allowed to decide whether to fix the source. If the user chooses to fix the source, then the user should be returned to the Change Source dialog box with the invalid portion of the input string highlighted. If the user chooses not to fix the source, then IOleUILinkContainer::SetLinkSource should be called a second time with fValidateSource set to FALSE, and the user should be returned to the Links dialog box with the link marked Unavailable.
