embedded_idl import attribute

C++ Specific

Specifies whether the type library is written to the .tlh file with the attribute-generated code preserved.

Syntax

#import type-library embedded_idl [ ( { "emitidl" | "no_emitidl" } ) ]

Parameters

"emitidl"
Type information imported from type-library is present in the IDL generated for the attributed project. This behavior is the default, and is in effect if you don't specify a parameter to embedded_idl.

"no_emitidl"
Type information imported from type-library isn't present in the IDL generated for the attributed project.

Example

// import_embedded_idl.cpp
// compile with: /LD
#include <windows.h>
[module(name="MyLib2")];
#import "\school\bin\importlib.tlb" embedded_idl("no_emitidl")
