IPipeDouble interface (objidlbase.h)

Transfers data of the double type (which is 64 bits wide).

Inheritance

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

Methods

The IPipeDouble interface has these methods.

 
IPipeDouble::Pull

The IPipeDouble::Pull (objidlbase.h) method retrieves data of the double integer type from the pipe source.
IPipeDouble::Push

The IPipeDouble::Push (objidlbase.h) method sends data of the double integer type to the pipe source.

Remarks

The IPipeByte, IPipeDouble, and IPipeLong interfaces are similar to the standard DCE/RPC pipes. However, the COM implementation of pipes offers more flexibility. With the COM implementation, the basic idea is that the pipe is simply another interface with two methods: Pull and Push. This results in three main benefits:

  • A COM pipe is another interface, so it can be received as an out parameter from a method call and then either Pull or Push can be called.
  • There are no restrictions on when to call the Pull and Push methods, so a pipe is in reality bidirectional.
  • Pipes are interfaces, so the method calls can be asynchronous and follow those rules.
For more information, see Pipes in the RPC documentation.
