IModelObject::GetRawReference method (dbgmodel.h)

The GetRawReference method finds a native construct within the given object and returns a reference to it. Such a construct may be a field, a base class, a field in a base class, a member function, etc... It is important to distinguish the reference returned here (an object of the type ObjectTargetObjectReference) from a language reference (e.g.: a C++ & or && style reference).

Syntax

HRESULT GetRawReference(
  SymbolKind                  kind,
  PCWSTR                      name,
  ULONG                       searchFlags,
  _COM_Errorptr_ IModelObject **object
);

Parameters

kind

Indicates the kind of native symbol to fetch (e.g.: a base class or a data member)

name

The name of the native construct to fetch.

searchFlags

An optional set of flags specifying the behavior of the search for the native construct.

object

An IModelObject representing the fetched native construct will be returned here. Note that in some circumstances, extended error information may be returned in this argument even if the HRESULT indicates failure.

Return value

This method returns HRESULT that indicates success or failure. The return values E_BOUNDS (or E_NOT_SET in some cases) indicates the field could not be found.

Remarks

Code Sample

ComPtr<IModelObject> spMessage; /* get a tagMSG */

ComPtr<IModelObject> spMsgIdRef;
if (SUCCEEDED(spMessage->GetRawReference(SymbolField, L"message", RawSearchNone, &spMsgIdRef)))
{
    // spMsgIdRef is an ObjectTargetObjectReference.  GetLocation/GetTypeInfo/GetTargetInfo 
    // will return as they would for the value. spMsgIdRef can be passed to Dereference or to 
    // the EE to assign a value, etc...
    ComPtr<IModelObject> spMsgId;
    if (SUCCEEDED(spMsgIdRef->Dereference(&spMsgId)))
    {
        // spMsgId contains the message number.  Unbox with GetIntrinsicValueAs.
    }
}
