I what it means form ObjBase.h

//#define interface struct FAR

#define interface struct

#define STDMETHOD(method) virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE method

#define STDMETHOD_(type,method) virtual type STDMETHODCALLTYPE method

and see what STDMETHODCALLTYPE means from winnt.h

#define STDMETHODCALLTYPE __stdcall

so STDMETHOD is nothing but virtual HRESULT __stdcall
