Value	Description
FUNCFLAG_FRESTRICTED	The function should not be accessible from macro languages. This flag is intended for system-level functions or functions that type browsers should not display.
FUNCFLAG_FSOURCE	The function returns an object that is a source of events.
FUNCFLAG_FBINDABLE	The function that supports data binding.
FUNCFLAG_FREQUESTEDIT
FUNCFLAG_FDISPLAYBIND	The function that is displayed to the user as bindable. FUNC_FBINDABLE must also be set.
FUNCFLAG_FDEFAULTBIND	The function that best represents the object. Only one function in a type information can have this attribute.
FUNCFLAG_FHIDDEN	The function should not be displayed to the user, although it exists and is bindable.
FUNCFLAG_USESGETLASTERROR	tbd
FUNCFLAG_FDEFAULTCOLLELEM	Permits an optimization in which the compiler looks for a member named "xyz" on the type of "abc". If such a member is found and is flagged as an accessor function for an element of the default collection, then a call is generated to that member function. Permitted on members in dispinterfaces and interfaces; not permitted on modules. For more information, refer to "defaultcollelem" in Chapter 8, "Type Libraries and the Object Description Language."
FUNCFLAG_FUIDEFAULT	The type information member is the default member for display in the user interface.
FUNCFLAG_FNONBROWSABLE	The property appears in an object browser, but not in a properties browser.
FUNCFLAG_FREPLACEABLE	Tags the interface as having default behaviors.
FUNCFLAG_FIMMEDIATEBIND	Mapped as individual bindable properties.

Note FUNCFLAG_FHIDDEN means that the property should never be shown in object browsers, property browsers, and so on. This function is useful for removing items from an object model. Code can bind to the member, but the user will never know that the member exists.FUNCFLAG_FNONBROWSABLE means that the property should not be displayed in a properties browser. It is used in circumstances in which an error would occur if the property were shown in a properties browser.

Examples

The IsSelected property for a control. Setting it to False would confuse a user if the properties browser was focus-oriented.
Properties that take a long time to evaluate (for example, a Count property for a database object). The time to evaluate might take longer than a user is willing to wait.
Properties that have side effects.

FUNCFLAG_FRESRICTED means that macro-oriented programmers should not be allowed to access this member. These members are usually treated as _FHIDDEN by tools such as Visual Basic, with the main difference being that code cannot bind to those members.
