SYMPTOMS
When using #import to import a type library, the Visual C++ compiler ignores TKIND_MODULE members of the library (generated from the "module" statement in IDL). Neither the module nor anything defined in the module appears in the .tlh or .tli files generated by the compiler.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. For more information about Visual Studio service packs, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
Compile with: MIDL /Oicf test.idl //test.idl [   uuid(3AAE1E5B-C6D6-11d2-B518-0000F805AF7A) ] library TestLib {   importlib("stdole32.tlb");

[       uuid(3AAE1E5C-C6D6-11d2-B518-0000F805AF7A), dllname("xxx.dll") ]   module TestConstants {       const long TESTCONST = 0x20; }; }; Compile with: CL /c test.cpp // test.cpp
