Detailed Description

This interface is used to define types used in AAF persistent objects.

In addition to the specific error results listed for each method, all methods in this interface may also return one of the following values:

AAFRESULT_NOMEMORY

insufficient system memory is available to perform the operation.

AAFRESULT_NOT_INITIALIZED

This object has not yet had Initialize() called on it through this object's primary interface. Note that IAAFObject is a primary interface for an abstract class, so it is not appropriate for the Initialize() method to exist in this interface. The Initialize() method is available through the concrete object's primary interface. Objects that implement IAAFTypeDef also implement the following interfaces:

HRESULT IAAFTypeDef::GetTypeCategory ( [out] eAAFTypeCategory_t * pTid )

Returns the type category to which this type definition belongs.

Succeeds if:

The pTid argument is valid

This method will return the following codes. If more than one of the listed errors is in effect, it will return the first one encountered in the order given below:

AAFRESULT_SUCCESS

succeeded. (This is the only code indicating success.)

AAFRESULT_NULL_PARAM

pTid arg is NULL.

Parameters:

pTid	[out] Returned type category

HRESULT IAAFTypeDef::RawAccessType ( [out] IAAFTypeDef ** ppRawTypeDef )

This method returns the type def through which values of this type may be accessed if the client wishes to access the value as as raw data.

NOTE! Stub only. Implementation not yet added.
