  ITypeInfo FAR* FAR* ppTInfo, 
  ITypeComp FAR* FAR* ppTComp 
);

Parameters

  • szName
    [in] Null-terminated string that contains the name to be bound.
  • lHashVal
    [in] Hash value for the name computed by LHashValOfName.
  • ppTInfo
    [out] On return, contains a pointer to a pointer to an ITypeInfo of the type to which the name was bound.
  • ppTComp
    [out] Passes a valid pointer, such as the address of an ITypeComp* variable.

Example

TypeComp * ptcomp;
  ptemp -> BindType(szName, lhashval, &ptinfo, &ptemp)
