IOleCache2::DiscardCache

Discards the caches in memory.

HRESULT DiscardCache(

DWORD dwDiscardOptions
//Save data or discard it
);

Parameter

dwDiscardOptions

Indicates whether data is to be saved prior to the discard. Valid values are from the enumeration DISCARDCACHE. Containers that have drawn a large object and need to free up memory may want to specify DISCARDCACHE_SAVEIFDIRTY so that the newest presentation is saved for the next time the object must be drawn.

Containers that have activated an embedded object, made some changes, and then called IOleObject::Close(OLECLOSE_NOSAVE) to roll back the changes can specify DISCARDCACHE_NOSAVE to ensure that the native and presentation data are not out of synchronization.

Return Values

S_OK

The cache(s) were discarded according to the value specified in dwDiscardOptions.

E_INVALIDARG

One or more arguments are invalid.

E_UNEXPECTED

An unexpected error occurred.

OLE_E_NOSTORAGE

There is no storage available for saving the data in the cache.

STG_E_MEDIUMFULL

The storage medium is full.

Comments

The IOleCache2::DiscardCache method is commonly used to handle low memory conditions by freeing memory currently being used by presentation caches.

Once discarded, the cache will satisfy subsequent IDataObject::GetData calls by reverting to disk-based data.
