IRunnableObject::GetRunningClass method (objidl.h)

  • Article

Retrieves the CLSID of a running object.

Syntax

HRESULT GetRunningClass(
  [out] LPCLSID lpClsid
);

Parameters

[out] lpClsid

A pointer to the object's class identifier.

Return value

This method can return the standard return values E_INVALIDARG, E_UNEXPECTED, and S_OK.

Remarks

If an embedded document was created by an application that is not available on the user's computer, the document, by a call to CoTreatAsClass, may be able to display itself for editing by emulating a class that is supported on the user's machine. In this case, the CLSID returned by a call to IRunnableObject::GetRunningClass will be that of the class being emulated, rather than the document's native class.
