     *                     The member is invoked as a method. If a property has the same name, both this and the DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET flag can be set.
     *                     DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET
     *                     The member is retrieved as a property or data member.
     *                     DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT
     *                     The member is changed as a property or data member.

     * @param pVarResult   Pointer to the location where the result is to be stored, or NULL if the caller expects no result. This argument is ignored if DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT or DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUTREF is specified.
     * @param pExcepInfo   Pointer to a structure that contains exception information. This structure should be filled in if DISP_E_EXCEPTION is returned. Can be NULL.
     * @param puArgErr     The index within rgvarg of the first argument that has an error. Arguments are stored in pDispParams-&gt;rgvarg in reverse order,
     *                     so the first argument is the one with the highest index in the array. This parameter is returned only when the resulting return
     *                     value is DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH or DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND. This argument can be set to null. For details, see Returning Errors.
     * @return This method can return one of these values.
     * S_OK
     * Success.
     * DISP_E_BADPARAMCOUNT
     * The number of elements provided to DISPPARAMS is different from the number of arguments accepted by the method or property.
     * DISP_E_BADVARTYPE
     * One of the arguments in DISPPARAMS is not a valid variant type.
     * DISP_E_EXCEPTION
     * The application needs to raise an exception. In this case, the structure passed in pexcepinfo should be filled in.
     * DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND
     * The requested member does not exist.
     * DISP_E_NONAMEDARGS
     * This implementation of IDispatch does not support named arguments.
     * DISP_E_OVERFLOW
     * One of the arguments in DISPPARAMS could not be coerced to the specified type.
     * DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND
     * One of the parameter IDs does not correspond to a parameter on the method. In this case, puArgErr is set to the first argument that contains the error.
     * DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH
     * One or more of the arguments could not be coerced. The index of the first parameter with the incorrect type within rgvarg is returned in puArgErr.
     * DISP_E_UNKNOWNINTERFACE
     * The interface identifier passed in riid is not IID_NULL.
     * DISP_E_UNKNOWNLCID
     * The member being invoked interprets string arguments according to the LCID, and the LCID is not recognized. If the LCID is not needed to interpret arguments, this error should not be returned
     * DISP_E_PARAMNOTOPTIONAL
     * A required parameter was omitted.
