IDispatch::GetIDsOfNames
riid, rgszNames, cNames, lcid, rgdispid)
REFIID riid
OLECHAR FAR* FAR* rgszNames
unsigned int cNames
LCID lcid
DISPID FAR* rgdispid
Maps a single member and an optional set of argument names to a corresponding
set of integer DISPIDs, which may be used on subsequent calls to
IDispatch::Invoke. The dispatch function
DispGetIDsOfNames provides a standard implementation of
GetIDsOfNames.
Parameters
riid
Reserved for future use. Must be NULL.
rgszNames
Passed-in array of names to be mapped.
cNames
Count of the names to be mapped.
lcid
The locale context in which to interpret the names.
rgdispid
Caller-allocated array, each element of which contains an ID corresponding to
one of the names passed in the
rgszNames array. The first element represents the member name; the subsequent elements
represent each of the member's parameters.
Return Value
The SCODE obtained from the returned HRESULT is one of the following:
SCODE
| Meaning
|
S_OK
| Success.
|
E_OUTOFMEMORY
| Out of memory.
|
DISP_E_UNKNOWNNAME
| One or more of the names were not known.
The returned array of DISPIDs contains DISPID_UNKNOWN for each entry that
corresponds to an unknown name.
|
DISP_E_UNKNOWNLCID
| The LCID was not recognized.
|
Comments
An
IDispatch implementation may choose to associate any positive integer ID value with a
given name. Zero is reserved for the default, or Value property;
1 is reserved to indicate an unknown name; and other negative values are
defined for other purposes. For example, if
GetIDsOfNames is called and the implementation does not recognize one or more of the names,
it will return DISP_E_UNKNOWNNAME and the
rgdispid array will contain DISPID_UNKNOWN for the entries that correspond to the
unknown names.
The member and parameter DISPIDs must remain constant for the lifetime of the
object. This allows a client to obtain the DISPIDs once and cache them for
later use.
When
GetIDsOfNames is called with more than one name,
the first name (
rgszNames[0]) corresponds to the member name, and subsequent names correspond to the
names of the member's parameters.
The same name may map to different DISPIDs, depending on context. For example,
a name may have a DISPID when it is used as a member name with a particular
interface, a different DISPID as a member of a different interface, and different
mapping for each time it appears as a parameter.
The
IDispatch interface binds to names at run time. To bind at compile time instead, an
IDispatch client can
map names to DISPIDs using the type information interfaces described in
Chapter 8, "
Type Description Interfaces." This allows a client to bind to members at compile time and avoid calling
GetIDsOfNames at run time.
The implementation of
GetIDsOfNames must be case insensitive. Clients that need case-sensitive name mapping
should use the type information interfaces to map names to DISPIDs, rather than
calling
GetIDsOfNames.
Examples
The following code from the Lines sample file LINE.CPP implements the
GetIDsOfNames member function for the CLine class. The OLE Automation object uses the
standard implementation,
DispGetIDsOfNames.
STDMETHODIMP
CLine::GetIDsOfNames(
REFIID riid,
OLECHAR FAR* FAR* rgszNames,
UINT cNames,
LCID lcid,
DISPID FAR* rgdispid)
{
return DispGetIDsOfNames(m_ptinfo, rgszNames, cNames, rgdispid);
}
The following code might appear in an OLE Automation controller that calls
GetIDsOfNames to get the DISPID of the CLine
Color
property.
HRESULT hresult;
IDispatch FAR* pdisp = (IDispatch FAR*)NULL;
DISPID dispid;
OLECHAR FAR* szMember = "color";
// Omitted code that sets pdisp...
hresult = pdisp->GetIDsOfNames(
IID_NULL,
&szMember,
- LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT,
&dispid);
