flush Method

Flushes the object's internal buffer to its destination IStream/string. This flushing occurs when one of the following conditions is met:

  • The output property is set to a destination.
  • The endDocument() event is called.
  • The flush() method is called.
[Visual Basic]

Usage Syntax

oMXXMLWriter.flush

Remarks

Avoid handling the underlying IStream object during output (for example, direct writing). When using the flush method, the exact position within the generated document is not generally known. If the flush method is called, all output that has been processed is put into the underlying IStream/ISequentialStream object.

[C/C++]

Syntax

HRESULT flush ( );

Return Values

S_OK

Remarks

Avoid handling the underlying IStream object during output (for example, direct writing). When using the flush method, the exact position within the generated document is not generally known. If the flush method interrupts MXXMLWriter output, all output that has been processed is put into the underlying IStream/ISequentialStream object.
