/TLBID (Specify Resource ID for TypeLib)

/TLBID:id

Arguments

id
A user-specified value for a linker-created type library. It overrides the default resource ID of 1.

Remarks

If this resource ID conflicts with one of your existing resources, you can specify another ID with /TLBID. The range of values that you can pass to id is 1 to 65535.
