Example

#include <windows.h>
#include <atlbase.h>    // Includes CComBSTR and CComVariant.
#include "wmsserver.h"

// Declare variables and interfaces.
IWMSServer      *pServer;

// Initialize the COM library and retrieve a pointer

// Retrieve a pointer to an IWMSPlugins interface
// and retrieve the total count of plug-ins.

if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Retrieve information about each plug-in.
for (long x = 0; x < lCount; x++)

    varIndex = x;
    hr = pPlugins->get_Item(varIndex, &pPlugin);
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    // Retrieve the class ID for the plug-in.
    hr = pPlugin->get_CLSID(&bstrText);
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    // Release temporary COM objects.
    pPlugin->Release();
}
