Examples

The following example demonstrates how to get the TypeLibTypeAttribute value of a class or interface.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;

ref class ClassB
{
private:
   static bool IsHiddenInterface( Type^ InterfaceType )
   {
      array<Object^>^InterfaceAttributes = InterfaceType->GetCustomAttributes( TypeLibTypeAttribute::typeid, false );
      if ( InterfaceAttributes->Length > 0 )
      {
         TypeLibTypeAttribute^ tlt = dynamic_cast<TypeLibTypeAttribute^>(InterfaceAttributes[ 0 ]);
         TypeLibTypeFlags flags = tlt->Value;
         return (flags & TypeLibTypeFlags::FHidden) != TypeLibTypeFlags(0);
      }

      return false;
   }
};

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace B
{
    class ClassB
    {
        public static bool IsHiddenInterface(Type InterfaceType)
        {
            object[] InterfaceAttributes = InterfaceType.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(TypeLibTypeAttribute), false);
            if (InterfaceAttributes.Length > 0)
            {
                TypeLibTypeAttribute tlt = (TypeLibTypeAttribute)InterfaceAttributes[0];
                TypeLibTypeFlags flags = tlt.Value;
                return (flags & TypeLibTypeFlags.FHidden) != 0;
            }
            return false;
        }
    }
}

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Module B
    Public Function IsHiddenInterface(ByVal InterfaceType As Type) As Boolean
        Dim InterfaceAttributes As Object() = _
        InterfaceType.GetCustomAttributes(GetType(TypeLibTypeAttribute), False)

        If InterfaceAttributes.Length > 0 Then
            Dim tlt As TypeLibTypeAttribute = InterfaceAttributes(0)
            Dim flags As TypeLibTypeFlags = tlt.Value
            Return (flags & TypeLibTypeFlags.FHidden) > 0
        End If

        Return False
    End Function
End Module

Remarks

The Tlbimp.exe (Type Library Importer) applies this attribute to classes or interfaces.

This attribute is applied when a type library is imported and should never be changed. It is only applied when the method's TYPEFLAGS evaluate to non-zero. The attribute is designed to be used by tools that need to know how the original TYPEFLAGS were set. The common language runtime does not use this attribute.

Constructors

TypeLibTypeAttribute(Int16)	Initializes a new instance of the TypeLibTypeAttribute class with the specified TypeLibTypeFlags value.
TypeLibTypeAttribute(TypeLibTypeFlags)	Initializes a new instance of the TypeLibTypeAttribute class with the specified TypeLibTypeFlags value.

Properties

TypeId	When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute)
Value	Gets the TypeLibTypeFlags value for this type.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute)
GetHashCode()	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
IsDefaultAttribute()	When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute)
Match(Object)	When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
