Alternative to __uuidof in C

Question

I\'m working with a C project that\'s using DirectX and I\'ve run into a problem. Certain DX calls require a IID object, typically generated with __uuidof

Answer 1

__uuidof is only available in C++, as error described. I think you already have definitions of the GUIDs of the interfaces for C available in DX header files.

From d3d11.h:

EXTERN_C const IID IID_ID3D11Texture2D;

Use this instead of __uuidof(ID3D11Texture2D).
