include (C++)

The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

Specifies one or more header files to be included in the generated .idl file.

  
      [ include(  
   header_file  
) ];  

Parameters

header_file
The name of a file that you want included in the generated .idl file.

The include C++ attribute causes an #include statement to be placed below the import "docobj.idl" statement in the generated .idl file.

The include C++ attribute has the same functionality as the include MIDL attribute.

The following code shows an example of how to use include. For this example, the file include.h contains only a #include statement.

// cpp_attr_ref_include.cpp  
// compile with: /LD  
[module(name="MyLib")];  
[include(cpp_attr_ref_include.h)];
