API Reference (Visual Studio Debugging)

The reference section includes a conceptual overview of the API, a guide that shows the syntax and usage for all API elements, and an assortment of code examples. All references are listed alphabetically by category.

Note

When a Visual Studio debugging method returns S_OK, it is assumed that all out parameter pointers are valid, that is, no validation is conducted on out parameter pointers when S_OK is returned.

Note

Invalid or NULL [out] parameters may cause the IDE to crash.
