Parameters
memid
Member identifier for the type description.

pbstrHelpString
Returns a pointer to a BSTR that contains the name of the specified item. If the caller does not need the item name, then pbstrHelpString can be NULL.
pdwHelpStringContext
Returns a pointer to the Help localization context. If the caller does not need the Help context, it can be NULL.
pbstrHelpStringDll
Returns a pointer to a BSTR that contains the fully qualified name of the file that contains the DLL used for Help file. If the caller does not need the file name, it can be NULL.

This function will call _DLLGetDocumentation in the specified DLL to retrieve the desired Help string, if there is a Help string context for this item. If no Help string context exists or an error occurs, then it will defer to the GetDocumentation method and return the associated documentation string.
