IOpcSignatureReference::GetType method

Gets a string that indicates the type of the referenced XML element.

Syntax

HRESULT GetType(
  [out, retval] LPCWSTR *type
);

Parameters

type [out, retval]

A string that indicates the type of the referenced XML element.

If the type is not set, the type parameter will be the empty string "".

Return value

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Remarks

This method allocates memory used by the string returned in type. If the method succeeds, call the CoTaskMemFree function to free the memory.

Providing a type for the referenced XML element is optional. If used, the type of the referenced element is serialized in the signature markup as the optional Type attribute value of a Reference element.

The caller can use the type of the referenced element to indicate whether the element is an Object, SignatureProperty, or Manifest element. This identification can aid the caller in processing the reference.
