public (C++ Attributes)

2018-01-03

The latest version of this topic can be found at public (C++ Attributes).

Ensures that a typedef will go into the type library even if it is not referenced from within the .idl file.

Syntax

  
[public]

Remarks

The public C++ attribute has the same functionality as the public MIDL attribute.

Example

The following code shows how to use the public attribute:

// cpp_attr_ref_public.cpp  
// compile with: /LD  
#include "unknwn.h"  
[module(name="ATLFIRELib")];  
[export, public] typedef long MEMBERID;  
  
[dispinterface, uuid(99999999-9999-9999-9999-000000000000)]  
__interface IFireTabCtrl : IDispatch  
{  
   [id(2)] long procedure ([in, optional] VARIANT i);  
};
