include (C+)

Specifies one or more header files to be included in the generated .idl file.

[ include( 
   header_file 
) ];

Parameters

  • header_file
    The name of a file that you want included in the generated .idl file.

Remarks

The include C++ attribute causes an #include statement to be placed below the import "docobj.idl" statement in the generated .idl file.

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

Example

The following code shows an example of how to use include. For this example, the file include.h contains only a #include statement.

// cpp_attr_ref_include.cpp
// compile with: /LD
[module(name="MyLib")];
[include(cpp_attr_ref_include.h)];
