The properties, methods, and collections that a class implements are organized into functionally related groups. Each group is implemented as a COM interface. The properties, methods, and collections of each interface are members of the interface.
The IInterfaceMember interface maintains this information for an interface member:
The member dispatch identifier.
Information about member visibility.
The relationship to the interface that exposes a particular interface member.
This information is common to properties, methods, and collection types. The PropertyDef, MethodDef, and CollectionDef classes all implement this interface.
When to Use
Use the IInterfaceMember interface to access the common properties of an interface member, or to determine which interface definition has a member of a particular property, method, or collection type.
Properties
Property
Description
DispatchID
The dispatch identifier to use when accessing an instance of this type of member.
Flags
Flags that specify details about this type of member.
Methods
IUnknown Method
Description
QueryInterface
Returns pointers to supported interfaces.
AddRef
Increments the reference count.
Release
Decrements the reference count.
IDispatch Method
Description
GetIDsOfNames
Maps a single member and a set of argument names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.
GetTypeInfo
Retrieves a type information object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface.
GetTypeInfoCount
Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1).
Invoke
Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an Automation object.
IRepositoryDispatch Method
Description
get_Properties
