IComponentData interface (mmc.h)

The IComponentData interface enables MMC to communicate with snap-ins. Similar to the IComponent interface, IComponentData is typically implemented at the document level and is closely associated with items (folders) being displayed in the scope pane.

Inheritance

The IComponentData interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IComponentData also has these types of members:

Methods

The IComponentData interface has these methods.

IComponentData::CompareObjects The IComponentData::CompareObjects method enables a snap-in to compare two data objects acquired through QueryDataObject. Be aware that the data objects can be acquired from two different instances of IComponentData.
IComponentData::CreateComponent The IComponentData::CreateComponent method creates an instance of the IComponent that will be associated with this IComponentData interface.
IComponentData::Destroy The IComponentData::Destroy method releases all references to the console.
IComponentData::GetDisplayInfo The IComponentData::GetDisplayInfo method retrieves display information for a scope item.
IComponentData::Initialize The IComponentData::Initialize method provides an entry point to the console.
