Remarks
This attribute allows members to be removed from an interface by shielding them from further use, while maintaining compatibility with existing code.
When specified for a library, the attribute prevents the entire library from being displayed. It is intended for use by controls. Hosts need to create a new type library that wraps the control with extended properties.
