Return Values

One of the values described in the following table is returned.

Value Description
S_OK Success.
STG_E_INSUFFICIENTMEMORY Out of memory.
E_OUTOFMEMORY Out of memory.
E_ACCESSDENIED Cannot write to the destination.
TYPE_E_UNDEFINEDTYPE Bound to unrecognized type.
TYPE_E_INVALIDSTATE The state of the type library is not valid for this operation.
TYPE_E_WRONGTYPEKIND Type mismatch.
TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND The element cannot be found.
TYPE_E_AMBIGUOUSNAME More than one item exists with this name.
TYPE_E_SIZETOOBIG The type information is too long.

Remarks

LayOut also assigns member identifier numbers to the functions and variables, unless the TYPEKIND of the class is TKIND_DISPATCH. Call LayOut after all members of the type information are defined, and before the type library is saved.

Other members of the ICreateTypeInfo interface should not be called after calling LayOut.

Different implementations of ICreateTypeInfo or other interfaces that create type information are free to assign any member identifier numbers, provided that all members (including inherited members), have unique identifiers. For examples, see the ICreateTypeInfo2 interface later in this chapter.
