Syntax
HRESULT BindType( OLECHAR FAR* szName, unsigned long lHashVal,
ITypeInfo FAR* FAR* ppTInfo, ITypeComp FAR* FAR* ppTComp );
Parameters
szName
NULL-terminated string that contains the name to be bound.
lHashVal
Hash value for the name computed by LHashValOfName.
ppTInfo
On return, contains a pointer to a pointer to an ITypeInfo of the type to which the name was bound.
ppTComp
Passes a valid pointer, such as the address of an ITypeComp* variable.
Return Values
One of the values described in the following table is returned.
| Value | Description |
| S_OK | Success. |
| E_OUTOFMEMORY | Out of memory. |
| E_INVALIDARG | One or more of the parameters is invalid. |
| TYPE_E_IOERROR | The function could not read from the file. |
| TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD | Invalid data. |
| TYPE_E_UNSUPFORMAT | The type library has an older format. |
| TYPE_E_INVALIDSTATE | The type library could not be opened. |
| TYPE_E_AMBIGUOUSNAME | More than one instance of this name occurs in the type library. |
Remarks
Use the function BindType for binding a type name to the ITypeInfo that describes the type. This function is invoked on the ITypeComp that is returned by ITypeLib::GetTypeComp to bind to types defined within that library. It can also be used in the future for binding to nested types.
Example
TypeComp * ptcomp;
ptemp -> BindType(szName, lhashval, &ptinfo, &ptemp)
