I am going to enumerate not installed updates with Windows Update Agent. And I have one question. Is that a way to discard/stop BeginSearch method (searching process). I have tried to stop search process with EndSearch but it does not stop it. Thanks.
IUpdateSearcher::EndSearch()
waits for the search to complete first. You can explicitly request the search to stop early by first calling ISearchJob::RequestAbort()
on the ISearchJob
you get from IUpdateSearcher::BeginSearch()
. After doing that, the ISearchResults
returned from EndSearch()
should have a ResultCode
of orcAborted
, and you should be safe with just releasing it. (You should still call EndSearch()
, because the abort operation is still asynchronous, as hinted by the name "request abort".)
