HRESULT GetClassObject(
  REFCLSID* pClassID,
  DWORD dwClsContext,
  LCID locale,
  REFIID riid,
  void** ppv 
);

Parameters

  • pClassID
    [in] Points to the CLSID that Identifies the class whose class object is to be retrieved.
  • dwClsContext

  • riid
    [in] IID of the interface on the object to which a pointer is desired.
  • ppv

Remarks

This method returns the class identifier (CLSID) for an object, used in later operations to load object-specific code into the caller's context.
