# IStorage::EnumElements

Retrieves a pointer to an enumerator object that can be used to enumerate the storage and stream objects contained within this storage object.

HRESULT EnumElements(

DWORD reserved1, | //Reserved; must be zero
void * reserved2, | //Reserved; must be NULL
DWORD reserved3, | //Reserved; must be zero
IEnumSTATSTG ** ppenum | //Indirect pointer to IEnumSTATSTG
); |

Parameters

reserved1
  [in] Reserved for future use; must be zero.
reserved2
  [in] Reserved for future use; must be NULL.
reserved3
  [in] Reserved for future use; must be zero.
ppenum
  [out] When successful, points to the location of an IEnumSTATSTG pointer to new enumerator object.

Return Values

S_OK
  The enumerator object was successfully returned.
E_PENDING
  Asynchronous Storage only: Part or all of the element’s data is currently unavailable. For more information see IFillLockBytes and Asynchronous Storage.
STG_E_INSUFFICIENTMEMORY
  The enumerator object could not be created due to lack of memory.
STG_E_INVALIDPARAMETER
  One of the parameters was not valid.
STG_E_REVERTED
  The storage object has been invalidated by a revert operation above it in the transaction tree.

Remarks

The enumerator object returned by this method implements the IEnumSTATSTG interface, one of the standard enumerator interfaces that contain the Next, Reset, Clone, and Skip methods. IEnumSTATSTG enumerates the data stored in an array of STATSTG structures.

The storage object must be open in read mode to allow the enumeration of its elements.

The order in which the elements are enumerated and whether the enumerator is a snapshot or always reflects the current state of the storage object, and depends on the IStorage implementation.
