  • Article

A function template that creates a single uninitialized object of the class associated with a specified CLSID, and returns it as a winrt::com_ptr or throws if not successful.

Syntax

template <typename Interface>
winrt::com_ptr<Interface> create_instance(guid const& clsid,
    uint32_t context = 0x1 /*CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER*/,
    void* outer = nullptr);

Template parameters

typename Interface The type of the interface pointer to query for on the newly created object.

Parameters

outer If nullptr, indicates that the object is not being created as part of an aggregate. If not nullptr, a pointer to the aggregate object's IUnknown interface (the controlling IUnknown).

Return value
