IDispatchEx::DeleteMemberByName

Deletes a member by name.

Syntax

HRESULT DeleteMemberByName(  
   BSTR bstrName,  
   DWORD grfdex  
  

Parameters

bstrName
Name of member to be deleted.

grfdex
Determines if the member name is case sensitive. This can be one of the following values:

Value Meaning
fdexNameCaseSensitive Requests that the name lookup be done in a case-sensitive manner. Can be ignored by object that does not support case-sensitive lookup.
fdexNameCaseInsensitive Requests that the name lookup be done in a case-insensitive manner. Can be ignored by object that does not support case-insensitive lookup.

Return Value

Returns one of the following values:

S_OK Success.
S_FALSE Member exists but cannot be deleted.

Remarks

If the member is deleted, the DISPID needs to remain valid for GetNextDispID.

If a member with a given name is deleted and later a member with the same name is recreated, the DISPID should be the same. (Whether members that differ only by case are the "same" is object-dependent.)

Example

BSTR bstrName;  
IDispatchEx *pdex;  
  
// Assign to pdex and bstrName  
pdex->DeleteMemberByName(bstrName, fdexNameCaseSensitive);
