Overloaded function in COM 1

[titanandrews]

Hello all,

In my idl, I have this interface

interface IMyInterface : IDispatch
{		
        [id(1), helpstring("method Init1")] HRESULT Init([in]BSTR string1, [in] BSTR string2);
        [id(2), helpstring("method Init2")] HRESULT Init ([in]BSTR string1);
}

Apparently, this is not allowed because when I run midl it complains about the second Init function redefining the first. Is there any way to get around this issue?


many thanks,

Barry

        [id(1), helpstring("method Init1")] HRESULT Init([in]BSTR string1, [in, optional] BSTR string2);

So you're saying that you cannot overload a function, but just make parameters optional?

Yeah, sorry i messed up my post.

There was supposed to be a comment to that effect along with the code.
