IExtendedTypeLib::CreateExtendedTypeLib Method (String^, String^, Type^, UInt32, UInt32, String^, ITypeLib^)

Visual Studio 2015

Creates an ITypeLib interface for an extended type. The interface is not reference counted. The client must handle reference counting.

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.dll)

Syntax

C++

int CreateExtendedTypeLib(
	String^ lpstrCtrlLibFileName,
	String^ lpstrLibNamePrepend,
	Type^ ptinfoExtender,
	unsigned int dwReserved,
	unsigned int dwFlags,
	String^ lpstrDirectoryName,
	[OutAttribute] ITypeLib^% pptLib
)

Parameters

lpstrCtrlLibFileName

Type: System::String^

[in] Pointer to a string containing the type library file name. This is the type library being extended.

You can get the name of a type library from its GUID and other information using QueryPathOfRegTypeLib.

lpstrLibNamePrepend: Type: System::String^
[in] Pointer to a string to prepend to the file name of the extended type library.

ptinfoExtender: Type: System::Type^
[in] Pointer to the ITypeInfo used as the extender.

dwReserved: Type: System::UInt32
[in] Value not used. Use zero (0).

dwFlags: Type: System::UInt32
[in] Value not used. Use zero (0).

lpstrDirectoryName: Type: System::String^
[in] Pointer to a string containing the complete path to write out the extended type library. Use NULL if not saving the library.

pptLib: Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop::ITypeLib^
[out] Pointer to the ITypeLib of the extended (combined) type library.

Return Value

Type: System::Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.
