Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop

Assembly:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Interop.dll

Package:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Interop v17.12.40391

Creates an instance of a class listed in the local registry.

public:
 int CreateInstance(Guid clsid, System::Object ^ punkOuter, Guid % riid, System::UInt32 dwFlags, [Runtime::InteropServices::Out] IntPtr % ppvObj);

public int CreateInstance (Guid clsid, object punkOuter, ref Guid riid, uint dwFlags, out IntPtr ppvObj);

abstract member CreateInstance : Guid * obj * Guid * uint32 * nativeint -> int

Public Function CreateInstance (clsid As Guid, punkOuter As Object, ByRef riid As Guid, dwFlags As UInteger, ByRef ppvObj As IntPtr) As Integer

Parameters

clsid

Guid

[in] Class identifier (CLSID) of the requested object. This is the CLSID associated with the data and code that is used to create the object.

punkOuter

Object

[in] Pointer to the controlling instance of IUnknown of the aggregate that uses the newly created object. A value of null indicates that the object is not being created as part of an aggregate. If non-null, this is a pointer to the aggregate object's IUnknown interface (the controlling IUnknown).

riid

Guid

[in] Interface to be used to communicate with the object. For example, IID_IClassFactory.

dwFlags

UInt32

[in] Flags controlling the instance creation from the CLSCTX enumeration. Specify a value of CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER.

ppvObj

IntPtr

nativeint

[out] Address of pointer variable that receives the interface pointer requested in riid. Upon successful return, ppvObj contains the requested interface pointer. Upon failure, ppvObj contains null.

Returns

Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.
