Jim,
I am not saving anything in this code, what I am trying to do is narrow down
the issue, more:
Ok, I know this is a bug now, here is how:
If I used this code in my MMC Snap-In (Error Handling stripped for brevity):
pIDataObject->QueryInterface(IID_IFPCSnapinNode,
(void**)&pIFPCSnapinNode);
pIFPCSnapinNode->get_ParentArray(&pIDispatch);
pIDispatch->QueryInterface(IID_IFPCArray,(void **)&pIFPCArray);
pIFPCArray->get_VendorParametersSets(&pIFPCVendorParametersSets);
To get the IFPCVendorParametersSets interface from the IDataObject -- then
the Save() doesn't work correctly. However if I replace that code with this
code:
CoCreateInstance(CLSID_FPC, NULL, CLSCTX_ALL, IID_IFPC, (void
**)&pIFPC);
pIFPC->GetContainingArray(&pIFPCArray );
pIFPCArray->get_Name(&bstrName);
pIFPCArray->get_VendorParametersSets(ppIFPCVendorParametersSets);
To Get The IFPCVendorParametersSets interface, then Save() does work. Since
my Snap-In is attached to the local array -- both sets of code should return
the exact same IFPCVendorParametersSets, the issue appears that I am sharing
the IFPCArray instance with MMC and if MMC does see (or resets) the
GetServiceRestartMask???? then my settings do not get saved.
Here is the work around:
pIDataObject->QueryInterface(IID_IFPCSnapinNode,
(void**)&pIFPCSnapinNode);
pIFPCSnapinNode->get_ParentArray(&pIDispatch);
pIDispatch->QueryInterface(IID_IFPCArray,(void **)&pIFPCArray);
// Start WorkAround
pIFPCArray->get_Name(&bstrName);
pIFPCArray->Release();
CoCreateInstance(CLSID_FPC, NULL, CLSCTX_ALL, IID_IFPC, (void
**)&pIFPC);
pIFPC->get_Arrays(&pIFPCArrays);
var.vt = VT_BSTR
var.bstrVal = ::SysAllosString(bstrName);
pIFPCArrays->Item(var,&pIFPCArray);
// End WorkAround
pIFPCArray->get_VendorParametersSets(&pIFPCVendorParametersSets);
Basically, I use IFPCSnapInNode to get the Array Name, then CoCreate an
Instance of IFPC and from there look-up a brand new IFPCArray instance --
that is not associated with the MMC.
Code Following All These that has the save in it is:
pIFPCVendorParametersSets->Add(FPCGUID,False,&pIFPCVendorParametersSet);
pIFPCVendorParametersSets->Save();
Note the FPCGUID doesn't exist -- I have a .vbs that cleans it up for every
test.

I know; and you also wrote in to Dave, et al as well on a completely
separate issue.
I don't see from that code where you're saving anything.

Jim,
Did a little more experimenting and have a better summation of my problem
(looks like a bug too me), this I posted on news.mircsoft.com:
I am trying to add a VendorParameterSet to using
IFPCVendorParameterSets->Add. When I do this from a WScript .vbs file
everything works great.
However, when I do it from within my MMC plugin, the VendorParameterSet gets
added within the state of the MMC snaping (in process), however once the
process dies (mmc.exe is stopped) and I start mmc.exe and load the plugin
again the VendorParameterSet I added is missing.
It appears that I am not making the right call to save the
VendorParameterSet I have added to Mircosoft ISA Storage Server correctly --
in other words is there a call that makes it persist. In ISA 2000 I have
some code to call IFPCVendorParameterSets->Save after
When I call my code from another process space everything works correctly.
This is very important -- becuase it appears that the MMC process space and
the interface that I get from MMC is the problem.
What I believe is the issue is that the IFPCArray I am getting from:
hrReturn = pIFPCSnapinNode->get_ParentArray(&pIDispatch);
if (FAILED(hrReturn))
{
XLoadStringW(IDS_B1041,szErrorTemplate,MAX_ERROR_MSG);
swprintf(szErrorMsg,szErrorTemplate,hrReturn,__XFILE__,__LINE__);
goto End;
}
hrReturn = pIDispatch->QueryInterface(IID_IFPCArray,(void
**)&pIFPCArray);
if (FAILED(hrReturn))
{
XLoadStringW(IDS_B1041,szErrorTemplate,MAX_ERROR_MSG);
swprintf(szErrorMsg,szErrorTemplate,hrReturn,__XFILE__,__LINE__);
goto End;
}
Is being used my the ISA Snap-In after I have called the Save -- and because
of that my changes are not getting saved. i.e. the SaveBitMask is being
tampered with after I have turned over control to ISA Snap-In

It's not missing, you just overlooked it.
All objects / collections that support modification methods also include the
.save method.

ISAList:
Ok, doing a few more test I have determined that -
IFPCVendorParameterSets->Save needs to be called after
IFPCVendorParameterSets->Add, though this is not documented like
IFPCVendorParameterSet->Set -- in other words there is some missing
documentation in IFPCVendorParameterSets->Add.
So, now the problem is a little different (I have tested with and without
Save). Basically I was calling a straight:
IFPCVendorParameterSets->Save()
in ISA 2000, in ISA 2004 Save takes two booleans variables.
However, I can't figure out what combination will write out the to
presistant storage right when I call Save -- like ISA 2000 when I am in my
MMC SnapIn
Interetly enought -- in a .vbs file doing a .Save does the job -- default
parameters work.

IFPCVendorParameterSets->Add, however this doesn't help in ISA 2004 --
secondly the documentation for IFPCVendorParameterSets->Add doesn't say you
have to call Save.
Anyone doing any ISA 2004 programming?
