<snip> *** OK, so the trick is that was used to compile this has already the retval point. I just basically move one parameter (which? Any way to find this out without access to the ID`?) to the return type. <snip> Well, if there is a retval, it's always going to be the last parameter. With respect to getting the IDL, there are a couple of ways to get the IDL for a given COM interface: one is to see if it's documented in the MSDN library, another is to use the OleView tool from VS6 (you can directly load it from the executable if the type library was embedded as a resource, or you can choose it from the list of registered type libraries), and yet another is to see if the IDL file containing the declaration is in the platform SDK. If you can't find it using one of those, someone must not want you to use that interface ;). By the way, I usually end up combining the MSDN library's documentation as XML documentation with the declaration from the IDL files so I can get pretty IntelliSense tooltips with descriptions. -Andy You can read messages from the Advanced DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from Advanced DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
