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.

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.
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.
Weak
Weak holds a non-owning reference to an object.

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

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.
