  • Article

Creates the metadata signature of a type definition, returns an mdTypeDef token for that type, and specifies that the defined type is a member of the type referenced by the tdEncloser parameter.

HRESULT DefineNestedType ( 
    [in]  LPCWSTR     szTypeDef,
    [in]  DWORD       dwTypeDefFlags, 
    [in]  mdToken     tkExtends, 
    [in]  mdToken     rtkImplements[], 
    [in]  mdTypeDef   tdEncloser, 
    [out] mdTypeDef   *ptd
);
