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.
  • ComObject
    A counted pointer to a type that implements COM interfaces, where the object has been placed in the heap (boxed).
  • Error
    An error object consists of both an error code and optional 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
    An (HSTRING) is a reference-counted and immutable UTF-16 string type.
  • HStringBuilder
    An HSTRING builder that supports preallocating the HSTRING to avoid extra allocations and copies.
  • 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.
  • InterfaceRef
    This has the same memory representation as IFoo, but represents a borrowed interface pointer.
  • OutRef
    A borrowed type with the same memory layout as the type itself that can be used to construct ABI-compatible function signatures.
  • Owned
    A wrapper to provide ownership for handles to automatically drop via the handle’s Free trait.
  • 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.
  • Ref
    A borrowed type with the same memory layout as the type itself that can be used to construct ABI-compatible function signatures.
  • 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.
  • ComObjectInner
    Identifies types that can be placed in ComObject.
  • ComObjectInterface
    Describes the COM interfaces implemented by a specific COM object.
  • Free
    Custom code to free a handle.
  • Interface
    Provides low-level access to an interface vtable.
  • OutParam
    Provides automatic parameter conversion in cases where the Windows API expects implicit conversion support.
  • Param
    Provides automatic parameter conversion in cases where the Windows API expects implicit conversion support.

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.
