HRESULT GetDocumentation2( MEMID memid,LCID lcid,BSTR FAR* pbstrHelpString,unsigned long FAR* pdwHelpStringContext,BSTR FAR* pbstrHelpStringDll );

    [in] Locale identifiers (LCID).

  • pbstrHelpString
    [out] Returns a pointer to a BSTR that contains the name of the specified item.

    If the caller does not need the item name, then pbstrHelpString can be NULL.

    [out] Returns a pointer to the Help localization context.

    If the caller does not need the Help context, it can be NULL.
