IInterfaceMember Interface

The properties, methods, and collections that a class implements are organized into functionally related groups. Each group is implemented as a COM interface. The properties, methods, and collections of each interface are members of the interface.

The IInterfaceMember interface maintains this information for an interface member:

The member dispatch identifier.
Information about member visibility.
The relationship to the interface that exposes a particular interface member.

This information is common to properties, methods, and collection types. The PropertyDef, MethodDef, and CollectionDef classes all implement this interface.

When to Use

Use the IInterfaceMember interface to access the common properties of an interface member, or to determine which interface definition has a member of a particular property, method, or collection type.

Properties

Property	Description
DispatchID	The dispatch identifier to use when accessing an instance of this type of member.
Flags	Flags that specify details about this type of member.

Methods

IUnknown Method	Description
QueryInterface	Returns pointers to supported interfaces.
AddRef	Increments the reference count.
Release	Decrements the reference count.

IDispatch Method	Description
GetIDsOfNames	Maps a single member and a set of argument names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.
GetTypeInfo	Retrieves a type information object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface.
GetTypeInfoCount	Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1).
Invoke	Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an Automation object.

IRepositoryDispatch Method	Description
get_Properties	Retrieves the IReposProperties interface pointer. The IReposProperties interface provides access to the Properties collection.

Collections

Collection	Description
Interface	The collection of one interface that exposes this type of member.
