The following table shows the Automation interfaces with a description of the purpose of each.
Programming element |
Description |
|---|---|
This interface returns error information for applications that return rich error information. |
|
This interface provides the tools for creating and administering the type information defined through the type description. |
|
This interface derives from ICreateTypeInfo and adds methods for deleting items that have been added through ICreateTypeInfo. |
|
This interface provides the methods for creating and managing the component or file that contains type information. |
|
ICreateTypeLib2 inherits from ICreateTypeLib, and has four member functions. |
|
This interface exposes objects, methods, and properties to Automation programming tools and other applications. |
|
This interface provides a method for enumerating a collection of variants, including heterogeneous collections of objects and intrinsic types. |
|
This interface provides detailed contextual error information for applications that receive rich information. |
|
This interface ensures that error information can be propagated up the call chain correctly. |
|
This interface provides a fast way to access information that compilers need when binding to and instantiating structures and interfaces. |
|
This interface is typically used for reading information about objects. |
|
This interface allows ITypeInfo to cast to an ITypeInfo2 in performance-sensitive cases. |
|
This interface provides methods for accessing a library of type descriptions. |
|
This interface inherits from the ITypeLib interface. |
