Retrieves the symbol that represents the type for this symbol.

Syntax

HRESULT get_type (
    IDiaSymbol** pRetVal
);

Parameters

pRetVal

[out] Returns an IDiaSymbol object that represents the type of this symbol.

Return Value

If successful, returns S_OK; otherwise, returns S_FALSE or an error code.

Note

A return value of S_FALSE means the property is not available for the symbol.

Remarks

To determine the type a symbol has, you must call this method and examine the resulting IDiaSymbol object. Note that it is possible for a symbol to not have a type. For example, the name of a structure has no type but it might have children symbols (use the IDiaSymbol::findChildren method to examine those children).

Example

IDiaSymbol*         pType;
CComPtr<IDiaSymbol> pBaseType;
if (SUCCEEDED(pType->get_type( &pBaseType ))) {
    BasicType btBaseType;
    if (SUCCEEDED(pBaseType->get_baseType((DWORD *)&btBaseType))) {
        // Do something with basic type.
    }
}
