IAddrBook::SetPAB
Applies to: Outlook 2013 | Outlook 2016
Designates a particular container as the personal address book (PAB).
HRESULT SetPAB(
ULONG cbEntryID,
LPENTRYID lpEntryID
);
Parameters
cbEntryID
[in] The byte count in the entry identifier pointed to by the lpEntryID parameter.
lpEntryID
[in] A pointer to the entry identifier of the container to be designated as the PAB. The lpEntryID parameter cannot be NULL.
Return value
S_OK
The specified container has been established as the PAB.
Remarks
Clients and service providers call the SetPAB method to designate a particular container as the PAB. The PAB is a container that consists of entries copied from other containers as well as new entries.
A call to SetPAB establishes a container as the PAB until that container is made unavailable or a new container becomes the PAB through a subsequent call to SetPAB.
Clients and providers do not have to call the IMAPIProp::SaveChanges method to make the PAB change permanent.
