DispGetParam

dispparams, iPosition, vt, pvarResult, puArgErr)
DISPPARAMS FAR* dispparams
unsigned int iPosition
VARTYPE vt
VARIANT FAR* pvarResult
unsigned int FAR* puArgErr

Retrieves a parameter from the DISPPARAMS structure, checking both named parameters and positional parameters, and coerces it to the specified type.

Parameters

dispparams

Pointer to the parameters passed to IDispatch::Invoke.

iPosition

The position of the parameter in the parameter list. DispGetParam starts at the end of the array, so if iPosition is 0, the last parameter in the array is returned.

• t

The type to which the argument should be coerced.

pvarResult

Pointer to the variant into which to pass the parameter.

puArgErr

On return, pointer to the index of the argument that caused a DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH error. This pointer should be returned to Invoke to indicate the position of the argument in DISPPARAMS that caused the error.

Return Value

The SCODE obtained from the HRESULT is one of the following:

SCODE	Meaning
S_OK	Success.
DISP_E_BADVARTYPE	The variant type vt is not supported.
DISP_E_OVERFLOW	The retrieved parameter could not be coerced to the specified type.
DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND	The parameter indicated by iPosition could not be found.
DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH	The argument could not be coerced to the specified type.
E_INVALIDARG	One of the arguments was invalid.
E_OUTOFMEMORY	Insufficient memory to complete operation.

Comments

The output parameter pvarResult must be a valid VARIANT; any existing contents will be released in the standard way. The contents of the VARIANT should be freed with VariantFree.

If DispGetParam is used to get the right side of a property put operation, the second parameter should be DISPID_PROPERTYPUT. For example:

DispGetParam(&dispparams, DISPID_PROPERTYPUT, VT_BOOL, &varResult)

Note also that named parameters can't be accessed positionally, and vice versa.

Example

The following example uses DispGetParam to set X and Y properties:

STDMETHODIMP

CPoint::Invoke(

DISPID dispidMember,

REFIID riid,

LCID lcid,

unsigned short wFlags,

DISPPARAMS FAR* pdispparams,

VARIANT FAR* pvarResult,

EXCEPINFO FAR* pexcepinfo,

unsigned int FAR* puArgErr)

{

unsigned int uArgErr;

HRESULT hresult;

VARIANTARG varg0;

VARIANT varResultDummy;

UNUSED(lcid);

UNUSED(pexcepinfo);

// Make sure the wFlags are legal

if(wFlags & ~(DISPATCH_METHOD | DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET |

DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT | DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUTREF))

return ResultFromScode(E_INVALIDARG);

// This object only exposes a "default" interface.

if(!IsEqualIID(riid, IID_NULL))

return ResultFromScode(DISP_E_UNKNOWNINTERFACE);

// It simplifies the following code if the caller

// ignores the return value.

if(puArgErr == NULL)

puArgErr = &uArgErr;

if(pvarResult == NULL)

pvarResult = &varResultDummy;

VariantInit(&varg0);

// Assume the return type is void, unless we find otherwise.

VariantInit(pvarResult);

switch(dispidMember){

case IDMEMBER_CPOINT_GETX:

V_VT(pvarResult) = VT_I2;

V_I2(pvarResult) = GetX();

break;

case IDMEMBER_CPOINT_SETX:

hresult = DispGetParam(pdispparams, 0, VT_I2, &varg0, puArgErr);

if(hresult != NOERROR)

return hresult;

SetX(V_I2(&varg0));

break;

case IDMEMBER_CPOINT_GETY:

V_VT(pvarResult) = VT_I2;

V_I2(pvarResult) = GetY();

break;

case IDMEMBER_CPOINT_SETY:

hresult = DispGetParam(pdispparams, 0, VT_I2, &varg0, puArgErr);

if(hresult != NOERROR)

return hresult;

SetY(V_I2(&varg0));

break;

default:

return ResultFromScode(DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND);

}

return NOERROR;

}
