## SYNOPSIS

static HRESULT IDispatch\_GetIDsOfNames\
  (\
   LPDISPATCH *iface*,\
   REFIID     *riid*,\
   LPOLESTR\*  *rgszNames*,\
   UINT       *cNames*,\
   LCID       *lcid*,\
   DISPID\*    *rgDispId*\
  )

## DESCRIPTION

*cNames* **\[In\]**  Number of names in *rgszNames*.

*lcid* **\[In\]**  Locale of the type information to convert from.

*rgDispId* **\[Out\]**  Destination for converted DISPIDs.

## RETURNS

**Success:** **S\_OK**.

**Failure:** **DISP\_E\_UNKNOWNNAME**, if any of the names is invalid. **DISP\_E\_UNKNOWNLCID** if *lcid* is invalid. Otherwise, an **HRESULT** error code.
