OLE Moniker Implementations

OLE provides implementations of several monikers for different situations, as described in the following topics:

• File Monikers
• Composite Monikers
• Item Monikers
• Anti-Monikers
• Pointer Monikers
• Class Monikers
• Asynchronous Monikers
• URL Monikers

The file, composite, and item monikers are the most frequently used monikers, because they can be used to make nearly any object in any location. Anti-moniker and pointer monikers are primarily used inside OLE but have some application in implementing custom monikers.
