This method maps between names and identifiers of members and parameters.

Syntax 

HRESULT GetIDsOfNames( 
  OLECHAR FAR* FAR* 
rgszNames, 
  unsigned int 
cNames, 
  MEMBERID FAR* 
pMemId 
);

Parameters

rgszNames

[in] Passed-in pointer to an array of names to be mapped.

cNames

[in] Count of the names to be mapped.

pMemId

[out] Caller-allocated array in which name mappings are placed.

The following table shows the return values for this function.

Remarks

The function GetIDsOfNamesmaps the name of a member ( rgszNames[0]) and its parameters ( rgszNames[1] ... rgszNames[ cNames–1]) to the identifier of the member ( rgid[0]), and to the IDs of the specified parameters ( rgid[1] ... rgid[ cNames–1]).

The IDs of parameters are 0 for the first parameter in the member function's parameter list, 1 for the second, and so on.

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.

Requirements

Header oaidl.h, oaidl.idl
Library oleaut32.lib, uuid.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE 2.0 and later
