Microsoft Speech SDK

Interface: ISpeechDataKey

Code Example

The following Visual Basic form code demonstrates the methods of the ISpeechDataKey interface. To run this code, create a form containing the following controls:

• Three command buttons, called Command1, Command2, and Command3

The Form_Load procedure creates a voice object and gets its object token.

The Command1 procedure creates a data key, called K1, from the voice's token. This key provides data access to the token's folder in the Speech configuration database. The procedure then uses that datakey's CreateKey method to create a subfolder called "ISpeechDataKey" within its folder; the new datakey K2, which provides access to the new subfolder, is returned by the CreateKey method. Next, the procedure uses datakey K2 to create a subfolder called "Test1" within the "ISpeechDataKey" folder. The CreateKey method returns datakey K3, which accesses the folder. The procedure then creates a default value, a string value, a long value and a binary value within the "Test1" folder. Finally, the procedure creates a subfolder called "Test2" within the "ISpeechDataKey" folder, and writes the same four values into it.

The Command2 procedure opens the "ISpeechDataKey" subfolder, and enumerates the subfolders "Test1" and "Test2" and enumerates the values with each subfolder.

The Command3 procedure enumerates and deletes the values within the "Test1" and "Test2" subfolders, deletes these folders, and finally deletes the "ISpeechDataKey" folder.
