UInt32 componentFlagsMask;

Discussion

If you are developing an application that uses components, your application should set each bit that corresponds to a flag in the componentFlags field that is to be considered as a search criterion by the FindNextComponent or CountComponents function to 1. The Component Manager considers only these flags during the search. You specify the desired flag value (either 0 or 1) in the componentFlags field.

For example, to look for a component with a specific control flag that is set to 0, set the appropriate bit in the componentFlags field to 0 and the same bit in the componentFlagsMask field to 1. To look for a component with a specific control flag that is set to 1, set the bit in the componentFlags field to 1 and the same bit in the componentFlagsMask field to 1. To ignore a flag, set the bit in the componentFlagsMask field to 0.

If you are developing a component, your component must set the componentFlagsMask field in its component description structure to 0.
