rt

The restriction type. Possible values are as follows:

RES_AND

An AND restriction, which applies a bitwise AND operation to a restriction.

RES_BITMASK

A bitmask restriction, which applies a bitmask to a property value.

RES_COMMENT

A comment restriction, which associates a comment with a restriction.

RES_COMPAREPROPS

A property comparison restriction, which compares two property values.

RES_CONTENT

A content restriction, which searches a property value for specific content.

RES_EXIST

An exist restriction, which determines whether a property is supported.

RES_NOT

A NOT restriction, which applies a logical NOT operation to a restriction.

RES_OR

An OR restriction, which applies a logical OR operation to a restriction.

RES_PROPERTY

A property restriction, which determines whether a property value matches a particular value.

RES_SIZE

A size restriction, which determines whether a property value is a particular size.

RES_SUBRESTRICTION

A sub-object restriction, which applies a restriction to a message's attachments or recipients.

res

Union of restriction structures describing the filter to be applied. The specific structure included in the res member depends on the value of the rt member. The mapping between restriction type and structure is listed in the following table.

Clients use an SRestriction structure to limit the number and type of rows in their view of a table and to search for specific messages in a folder. To impose the limitation on a table, clients call either IMAPITable::Restrict or IMAPITable::FindRow. To impose the limitation on a folder, clients call the folder's IMAPIContainer::SetSearchCriteria method.

For information about how to use restrictions with tables, see About Restrictions.
