GUID generators

A GUID generator creates a GUID which is sent to the selected formatter.

List of supported GUID generators:

• random GUID (implemented via CoCreateGuid),
• null GUID (all bytes are zero),
• invalid GUID (all bytes are 0xFF's),
• manual GUID (allows to manually give a GUID in the standard registry format and reformat it using one of formatters).

GUID formatters

A GUID formatter takes GUID structure and makes a string in some format.

List of currently supported formatters:

• User-specified format

  User specifies the format in the "User format string" edit control and "Generate & Copy" button creates a formatted GUID.

• Raw format

  Raw format generates sequence of bytes, from the first to the last. at prints them sequentially, without spaces.

  Example:

>guidgen.exe -t manual -u {D7129382-1FFC-43A8-99F0-A8F0A1B67559} -f raw
829312D7FC1FA84399F0A8F0A1B67559

• IDL interface template

  IDL interface empty template with uuid() attribute.

  Example:

[
uuid("1B0B0F35-18CC-40F1-9875-74B0E5990923")
version(1.0)
]
interface INTERFACENAME
{

}

• IMPLEMENT_OLECREATE

  Example:

// {BA4E6BB2-8A8B-4E81-B885-A6E1A9738574}
IMPLEMENT_OLECREATE( Class, Name, 0xba4e6bb2, 0x8a8b, 0x4e81, 0xb8, 0x85, 0xa6, 0xe1, 0xa9, 0x73, 0x85, 0x74 );

• DEFINE_GUID

  Example:

// {BA4E6BB2-8A8B-4E81-B885-A6E1A9738574}
DEFINE_GUID( Name, 0xba4e6bb2, 0x8a8b, 0x4e81, 0xb8, 0x85, 0xa6, 0xe1, 0xa9, 0x73, 0x85, 0x74 );

• static const struct GUID

  Example:

// {BA4E6BB2-8A8B-4E81-B885-A6E1A9738574}
static const struct GUID Name = { 0xba4e6bb2, 0x8a8b, 0x4e81, { 0xb8, 0x85, 0xa6, 0xe1, 0xa9, 0x73, 0x85, 0x74 } };

• standard registry format

  Example:

{BA4E6BB2-8A8B-4E81-B885-A6E1A9738574}

• [Guid(" ... ")]

  Example:

[Guid("BA4E6BB2-8A8B-4E81-B885-A6E1A9738574")]

• <Guid(" ... ")>

  Example:

<Guid("BA4E6BB2-8A8B-4E81-B885-A6E1A9738574")>

• guid( ... )

  Example:

guid(BA4E6BB2-8A8B-4E81-B885-A6E1A9738574)

• C# field definition

  Used to specify GUID fields in the C# field format.

  Example:

// {BA4E6BB2-8A8B-4E81-B885-A6E1A9738574}
static readonly Guid Name = new Guid(0xba4e6bb2, 0x8a8b, 0x4e81, 0xb8, 0x85, 0xa6, 0xe1, 0xa9, 0x73, 0x85, 0x74);

• VB .Net field definition

  Example:

' {BA4E6BB2-8A8B-4E81-B885-A6E1A9738574}
Shared ReadOnly Name As Guid = New Guid(&Hba4e6bb2, &H8a8b, &H4e81, &Hb8, &H85, &Ha6, &He1, &Ha9, &H73, &H85, &H74)
