| IDiaSymbol::get_hasCastOperator | BOOL |
TRUE if this typedef has a cast operator. |
| IDiaSymbol::get_hasNestedTypes | BOOL |
TRUE if this typedef has nested types. |
| IDiaSymbol::get_length | ULONGLONG |

TRUE if this typedef is packed. |
| IDiaSymbol::get_reference | BOOL |
TRUE if this typedef is a reference. |
| IDiaSymbol::get_scoped | BOOL |
TRUE if this typedef is in a nonglobal lexical scope. |
| IDiaSymbol::get_symIndexId | DWORD |
Index ID of symbol. |
| IDiaSymbol::get_symTag | DWORD |
Returns SymTagTypedef (one of the SymTagEnum Enumeration values). |
| IDiaSymbol::get_type | IDiaSymbol* |
Symbol for the underlying type. |
| IDiaSymbol::get_typeId | DWORD |
ID of the type symbol. |
| IDiaSymbol::get_udtKind | DWORD |
One of the UdtKind Enumeration values. |
| IDiaSymbol::get_unalignedType | BOOL |
TRUE if this typedef is not aligned. |
| IDiaSymbol::get_virtualTableShape | IDiaSymbol* |

ID of the virtual table shape symbol. |
| IDiaSymbol::get_volatileType | BOOL |
TRUE if this typedef is marked as volatile. |
Remarks
Since a typedef can represent a class, pointer, or user-defined type (UDT), the symbol for a typedef shares the same properties as one of those other types of symbols.
