UUID, LPCUUID

#include <fte.h>

UUID uuidAppID; /* 16-byte value containing application ID */
LPCUUID lpAppID; /* 32-bit pointer to application ID string */

Variables of types UUID and LPCUUID specify the unique identifier, the application ID, that determines which application is to receive incoming files of a particular type.

Parameters

uuidAppID

A 16-byte character string that contains the application ID.

lpAppID

32-bit pointer to a nonmodifiable, application ID character string.

Comments

To produce an application ID, use the EXTIDGEN.EXE or GUUIDGEN.EXE applications. Consult the release notes for the Microsoft Windows SDK for an alternative version. These applications generate a value that is guaranteed to be unique.
