);

Parameters

[out, retval] geometry

A pointer to the new IXpsOMGeometry interface.

Return value

Return code	Description
S_OK	The method succeeded.
E_POINTER	geometry is NULL.

Remarks

The code example that follows illustrates how this method is used to create a new interface.


IXpsOMGeometry    *newInterface;

// Note the implicit requirement that CoInitializeEx 
//  has previously been called from this thread.

hr = CoCreateInstance(
    __uuidof(XpsOMObjectFactory),
    NULL,
    CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
    _uuidof(IXpsOMObjectFactory),
    reinterpret_cast<LPVOID*>(&xpsFactory)
    );

if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
    hr = xpsFactory->CreateGeometry (&newInterface);
    if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
    {
        // use newInterface

        newInterface->Release();
    }
    xpsFactory->Release();
}
else
{
    // evaluate HRESULT error returned in hr
}
