Syntax

HRESULT AddressOfMember( MEMBERID memid,
INVOKEKIND invKind, VOID FAR* FAR* ppv );

Parameters

memid

Member identifier of the static member whose address is to be retrieved. The member identifier is defined by the DISPID.

invKind

Specifies whether the member is a property, and if so, what kind.

ppv

On return, pointer to a pointer to the static member.

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_WRONGTYPEKIND Type mismatch.
TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD The function could not read from the file.
TYPE_E_UNSUPFORMAT The type library has an older format.
TYPE_E_INVALIDSTATE The type library could not be opened.
TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND The element was not found.
TYPE_E_DLLFUNCTIONNOTFOUND The function could not be found in the DLL.
TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY The type library or DLL could not be loaded.

Remarks

The addresses are valid until the caller releases its reference to the type description. The invKind parameter can be ignored unless the address of a property function is being requested.

If the type description inherits from another type description, this function is recursive to the base type description, if necessary, to find the item with the requested member identifier.
