bindable attribute

The [bindable] attribute indicates that the property supports data binding.


[
    interface-attribute-list
] 
interface | dispinterface interface-name 
{
    [bindable[, attribute-list]] returntype function-name(params)
}

Parameters

interface-attribute-list: Specifies a list of zero or more IDL attributes that apply to the interface as a whole. When two or more interface attributes are present, they must be separated by commas.
interface-name: Specifies the name of the interface.
attribute-list: Specifies zero or more attributes that apply to the function prototype for a property or a method in an interface or dispinterface. The following attributes are valid: [helpstring], [helpcontext], [string], [defaultbind], [displaybind], [immediatebind], [propget], [propput], [propputref], and [vararg]. If vararg is specified, the last parameter must be a safe array of type VARIANT. Separate multiple attributes with commas.
returntype: Specifies the return type of the function.
function-name: Specifies the name of the function to which the [bindable] attribute will be applied.
params: Function parameter list.

Remarks

By supporting data binding, the [bindable] attribute allows the client to be notified whenever a property has changed value. (If you want the client to be notified of impending changes to a property, use the [requestedit] attribute.)

Because the [bindable] attribute refers to the property as a whole, it must be specified wherever the property is defined. Therefore, you need to specify the attribute on both the property-accessing function and the property-setting function.

Flags
