It should be any object from the same typelib - almost certainly whatever
object you intend passing this record to.

record.
C++ doesn't know it is a COM record. A COM record is something quite
different to a C/C++ struct or from .NET types. A COM record is
specifically designed to be cross-language.

As I've explained, we are looking for the COM record definition you are
trying to use. A C++ struct definition for a GUID is *not* what you are
looking for - you are looking for the COM record definition of a GUID. I
see now that you simply copied me a C++ struct you found, which is not at
all useful in this context.
To clarify: in a *typelib* you will find a struct definition that you are
trying to use. Finding a struct definition of the same name somewhere else
is not suitable.

Not "defined by COM", but "defined using COM" - the author of a typelib must
have defined it somewhere.

Yes, I'm afraid you are confused. All existing GUID or CLSID definitions
you can find are useless - there is only 1 that is relevant, and that will
be defined in a typelib.
I think the confusion is such that you need to find basic docs for the
object, so we can get back to square 1.
