restricted

[restricted[, other-attributes]] 
statement-type statement-name {definitions};

Examples

[uuid(. . .), version (1.0), restricted] library UCantTouchThis
{. . .};

[propget, restricted] HRESULT DontTouch(void);
 

Remarks

The restricted attribute specifies that a library, or member of a module, interface, or dispinterface cannot be called arbitrarily. For example, this prevents a data item from being used by a macro programmer. You can apply this attribute to a member of a coclass, independent of whether the member is a dispinterface or interface, and independent of whether the member is a sink (incoming) or source (outgoing). A member of a coclass cannot have both the restricted and default attributes.

Flags
