Typedef Statement Summary
Typedef is a terminal, declaration statement that occurs only in description files authored from IDL-- i.e., external COM components. Its purpose is to supply an alternative identifier for a type. Typedefs are not moved forward into the authored code. Rather whenever a type specification is read, if it is a typedef, then the actual type is substituted. The attributes of the Typedef statement are as follows:| Attribute | Description |
| Id | This attribute is the identifier of the typedef. It must be unique within the scope of the library containing it. The identifier is not case-sensitive. |
| Type | This attribute is a Type attribute as discussed on the Declaration page. It specifies the type that will be associated with any component that defines its type using the identifier of this typedef. |
The script errors associated with the Typedef statement are as follows:
| Error | Description |
| 1055 | Typedef command missing required id attribute. |
| 1056 | Unable to store typedef vector: %1d |
| 1057 | Typedef command missing required type attribute. |
