Marshal.GetActiveObject(String) Method

Definition

Obtains a running instance of the specified object from the running object table (ROT).

public:
 static System::Object ^ GetActiveObject(System::String ^ progID);
public static object GetActiveObject (string progID);
[System.Security.SecurityCritical]
public static object GetActiveObject (string progID);
static member GetActiveObject : string -> obj
[<System.Security.SecurityCritical>]
static member GetActiveObject : string -> obj
Public Shared Function GetActiveObject (progID As String) As Object

Parameters

progID
String

The programmatic identifier (ProgID) of the object that was requested.

Returns

The object that was requested; otherwise null. You can cast this object to any COM interface that it supports.

Attributes

Exceptions

The object was not found.

Examples

The following example was run on a computer that was configured with a running instance of Microsoft Word. There were no instances of Microsoft Excel running.

The example calls GetActiveObject twice. The first call tries to retrieve a reference to an instance of Microsoft Word (an instance of the Word.Application object). The second call tries to retrieve a reference to an instance of Microsoft Excel (an instance of an Excel.Application object).

The code retrieves a reference to an instance of Microsoft Word successfully. However, because Microsoft Excel is not running, the attempt to retrieve the second object raises a COMException.
