[Praetor]

GUIDFromString Function - Deprecated. Converts a string to a GUID.

Note Applications should use CLSIDFromString or IIDFromString in place of this function.

Syntax

BOOL GUIDFromString(      
    LPCTSTR psz,
    LPGUID pguid
);

Parameters

psz
[in] A pointer to the null-terminated string to convert. The string should be in the following form: 
{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
pguid
[out] Pointer to a buffer to receive the GUID when this method returns.

Return Value
TRUE if the GUID was created successfully; otherwise, FALSE.


TRUE if the GUID was created successfully; otherwise, FALSE.

Remarks
Note GUIDFromString is available through Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Windows Vista. It might be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. This function is not declared in a header or exported by name from a .dll file. It must be loaded from Shell32.dll as ordinal 703 for GUIDFromStringA and ordinal 704 for GUIDFromStringW.

It can also be accessed from Shlwapi.dll as ordinal 269 for GUIDFromStringA and ordinal 270 for GUIDFromString

To convert a string to GUID, you must do the following:

String strValue; 
Guid objGUID; 
strValue = "(80E9CEF7-1C93-48A7-866C-2002F94379E6)"; 
objGUID = new Guid (strValue);

Practically if you have a GUID as a value to an HTML element and this must stop at the end back into an object attribute would like to pack up.

The following example uses the GUIDFromString function to convert a string to a GUID. The string is a GUID stored in string form in a replicated Employees table. The field, s_GUID, is a hidden field added to every replicated table in a replicated database.

Sub CheckGUIDType()

Dim dbsConn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rstEmployees As ADODB.Recordset

' Make a connection to the current database.
Set dbsConn = Application.CurrentProject.Connection
Set rstEmployees = New ADODB.Recordset
rstEmployees.Open "Employees", _
dbsConn, , , adCmdTable

' Print the GUID to the immediate window.
Debug.Print rst!s_GUID
Debug.Print TypeName(rst!s_GUID)
Debug.Print TypeName(GuidFromString(rst!s_GUID))

Set rstEmployees = Nothing
Set dbsConn = Nothing

End Sub
