Retrieves the base type for this symbol.

Syntax

HRESULT get_baseType (
    DWORD* pRetVal
);

Parameters

pRetVal

[out] Returns a value from the BasicType Enumeration enumeration specifying the base type of the symbol.

Return Value

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

Note

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

Remarks

The basic type for a symbol can be determined by first getting the type of the symbol and then interrogating that returned type for the base type. Note that some symbols may not have a base type—for example, a structure name.

Example

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