Module windows::core

Macros

• h
  A literal HSTRING, length-prefixed wide string with a trailing null terminator.
• s
  A literal UTF-8 string with a trailing null terminator.
• w
  A literal UTF-16 wide string with a trailing null terminator.

Structs

• AgileReference
  A type representing an agile reference to a COM/WinRT object.
• Array
  A WinRT array stores elements contiguously in a heap-allocated buffer.
• BSTR
  A BSTR string (BSTR) is a length-prefixed wide string.
• Error
  An error object consists of both an error code as well as detailed error information for debugging.
• Event
  A type that you can use to declare and implement an event of a specified delegate type.
• GUID
  A globally unique identifier (GUID) used to identify COM and WinRT interfaces.
• HRESULT
  An error code value returned by most COM functions.
• HSTRING
  A WinRT string (HSTRING) is reference-counted and immutable.
• IInspectable
  A WinRT object that may be used as a polymorphic stand-in for any WinRT class, interface, or boxed value. IInspectable represents the IInspectable interface.
• IUnknown
  All COM interfaces (and thus WinRT classes and interfaces) implement IUnknown under the hood to provide reference-counted lifetime management as well as the ability to query for additional interfaces that the object may implement.
• PCSTR
  A pointer to a constant null-terminated string of 8-bit Windows (ANSI) characters.
• PCWSTR
  A pointer to a constant null-terminated string of 16-bit Unicode characters.
• PROPVARIANT
  A PROPVARIANT (PROPVARIANT) is a container that can store different types of values.
• PSTR
  A pointer to a null-terminated string of 8-bit Windows (ANSI) characters.
• PWSTR
  A pointer to a null-terminated string of 16-bit Unicode characters.
• VARIANT
  A VARIANT (VARIANT) is a container that can store different types of values.
• Weak
  Weak holds a non-owning reference to an object.

Traits

• AsImpl
  A trait for retrieving the implementation behind a COM or WinRT interface.
• Interface
  Provides low-level access to an interface vtable.

Functions

• factory
  Attempts to load the factory object for the given WinRT class. This can be used to access COM interfaces implemented on a Windows Runtime class factory.

Type Aliases

• Result
  A specialized Result type that provides Windows error information.

Attribute Macros

• implement
  Implements one or more COM interfaces.
• interface
  Defines a COM interface to call or implement.
