IRunnableObject interface (objidl.h)
Enables a container to control the running of its embedded objects. In the case of an object implemented with a local server, calling the Run method launches the server's .EXE file. In the case of an object implemented with an in-process server, calling Run causes the object .DLL file to transition into the running state.
The IRunnableObject interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IRunnableObject also has these types of members:
The IRunnableObject interface has these methods.
| IRunnableObject::GetRunningClass Retrieves the CLSID of a running object. |
| IRunnableObject::IsRunning Determines whether an object is currently in the running state. |
| IRunnableObject::LockRunning Locks an already running object into its running state or unlocks it from its running state. (IRunnableObject.LockRunning) |
| IRunnableObject::Run Forces an object to run. |
| IRunnableObject::SetContainedObject Notifies an object that it is embedded in an OLE container, which ensures that reference counting is done correctly for containers that support links to embedded objects. (IRunnableObject.SetContainedObject) |
