Converts a globally unique identifier (GUID) into a string of printable characters.

StringFromCLSID(cClsId | nClsIdPointer)

Parameters

Return Value

A CLSID (class GUID) in readable form. e.g. {2C256447-3F0D-4CBB-9D12-575BB20CDA0A}

Remarks

A CLSID is a globally unique identifier that identifies a COM class object. If your server or container allows linking to its embedded objects, you need to register a CLSID for each supported class of objects.

Example

Copy code
lcCLSID = CLSIDFromProgID('VisualFoxPro.Application')
&& lcCLSID now contains the CLSID in binary format
? StringFromCLSID(lcCLSID) && convert into human readable format
