ppdata

An array of method parameters.

dispid

The ID of the method, as used in IDispatch.

iMeth

cArgs

wFlags

Invoke flags.

Value Meaning
DISPATCH_METHOD
 The member is invoked as a method. If a property has the same name, both this and the DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET flag can be set.
DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET
 The member is retrieved as a property or data member.
DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT
 The member is set as a property or data member.
DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUTREF
 The member is changed by a reference assignment, rather than a value assignment. This flag is valid only when the property accepts a reference to an object.

vtReturn

The return type for the method.
