ICreateTypeInfo::LayOut method (oaidl.h)

Assigns VTBL offsets for virtual functions and instance offsets for per-instance data members, and creates the two type descriptions for dual interfaces.

Syntax

HRESULT LayOut();

Return value

This method can return one of these values.

Return code	Description
S_OK	Success.
E_OUTOFMEMORY	Insufficient memory to complete the operation.
E_ACCESSDENIED	Cannot write to the destination.
STG_E_INSUFFICIENTMEMORY	Insufficient memory to complete the operation.
TYPE_E_UNDEFINEDTYPE	Bound to unrecognized type.
TYPE_E_INVALIDSTATE	The state of the type library is not valid for this operation.
TYPE_E_WRONGTYPEKIND	Type mismatch.
TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND	The element cannot be found.
TYPE_E_AMBIGUOUSNAME	More than one item exists with this name.
TYPE_E_SIZETOOBIG	The type information is too long.
TYPE_E_TYPEMISMATCH	Type mismatch.

Remarks

LayOut also assigns member ID numbers to the functions and variables, unless the TYPEKIND of the class is TKIND_DISPATCH. Call LayOut after all members of the type information are defined, and before the type library is saved.

Use ICreateTypeLib::SaveAllChanges to save the type information after calling LayOut. Other members of the ICreateTypeInfo interface should not be called after calling LayOut.

Note  Different implementations of ICreateTypeLib::SaveAllChanges or other interfaces that create type information are free to assign any member ID numbers, provided that all members (including inherited members), have unique IDs. For examples, see ICreateTypeInfo2.
