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
