OLEGETMONIKER

  • Article

This enumeration contains values that indicate the requested behavior of the IOleObject::GetMoniker and IOleClientSite::GetMoniker methods.

typedef enum tagOLEGETMONIKER { 
  OLEGETMONIKER_ONLYIFTHERE = 1,
  OLEGETMONIKER_FORCEASSIGN = 2,
  OLEGETMONIKER_UNASSIGN = 3,
  OLEGETMONIKER_TEMPFORUSER  = 4
} OLEGETMONIKER;

Elements

  • OLEGETMONIKER_ONLYIFTHERE
    If a moniker for the object or container does not exist, GetMoniker should return E_FAIL and not assign a moniker.
  • OLEGETMONIKER_FORCEASSIGN
    If a moniker for the object or container does not exist, GetMoniker should create one.
  • OLEGETMONIKER_UNASSIGN
    IOleClientSite::GetMoniker can release the object's moniker, although it is not required to do so. This constant is not valid in IOleObject::GetMoniker.
  • OLEGETMONIKER_TEMPFORUSER
    If a moniker for the object does not exist, IOleObject::GetMoniker can create a temporary moniker that can be used for display purposes (IMoniker::GetDisplayName) but not for binding. This enables the object server to return a descriptive name for the object without incurring the overhead of creating and maintaining a moniker until a link is actually created.

Remarks

If the OLEGETMONIKER_FORCEASSIGN flag causes a container to create a moniker for the object, the container should notify the object by calling the IOleObject::SetMoniker method.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 3.0 and later.
Header: Oleidl.h.
