  • Article

HRESULT QueryObject(
  [in]  REFGUID guidObject,
  [in]  REFIID  riid,
  [out] void    **ppvOut
);

Parameters

[in] guidObject

Type: REFGUID

A reference to the GUID used to identify the object.

[in] riid

Type: REFIID

Specifies the desired interface ID.

[out] ppvOut

On success, contains the address of a pointer to the object specified by riid.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

Object implementers that want to enable the discovery of other objects that they can produce or that they hold should implement IObjectProvider::QueryObject and publish the GUID values that name those objects for clients of that object. Note that objects should not pass on the request for an object to other objects like QueryService.
