MKRREDUCE

The MKRREDUCE enumeration constants are used to specify how far the moniker should be reduced. They are used in the IMoniker::Reduce method. MKRREDUCE is defined in OBJIDL.IDL.

typedef enum tagMKRREDUCE
{
MKRREDUCE_ONE = 3<<16,
MKRREDUCE_TOUSER = 2<<16,
MKRREDUCE_THROUGHUSER = 1<<16,
MKRREDUCE_ALL = 0
} MKRREDUCE;

Elements
MKRREDUCE_ONE

Performs only one step of reducing the moniker. In general, the caller must have specific knowledge about the particular kind of moniker to take advantage of this option.

MKRREDUCE_TOUSER

Reduce the moniker to a form that the user identifies as a persistent object. If no such point exists, then this option should be treated as MKRREDUCE_ALL.

MKRREDUCE_THROUGHUSER

Reduce the moniker to where any further reduction would reduce it to a form that the user does not identify as a persistent object. Often, this is the same stage as MKRREDUCE_TOUSER.

MKRREDUCE_ALL

Reduce the moniker until it is in simplest form, that is, reduce it to itself.
