Creates a GUID, a unique 128-bit integer used for CLSIDs and interface identifiers.
HRESULT CoCreateGuid(

);

| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
The GUID was successfully created. |
Errors returned by UuidCreate are wrapped as an HRESULT.
The CoCreateGuid function calls the RPC function UuidCreate, which creates a GUID, a globally unique 128-bit integer. Use CoCreateGuid when you need an absolutely unique number that you will use as a persistent identifier in a distributed environment. To a very high degree of certainty, this function returns a unique value – no other invocation, on the same or any other system (networked or not), should return the same value.
