IOleObject::GetMoniker
This method retrieves an embedded object's moniker, which the caller can use to link to the object.
HRESULT GetMoinker(
DWORD dwAssign,
DWORD dwWhichMoniker,
IMoniker** ppmk
);
Parameters
dwAssign
[in] Determines how the moniker is assigned to the object. Depending on the value of dwAssign, GetMoniker does one of the following:- Obtains a moniker only if one has already been assigned.
- Forces assignment of a moniker, if necessary, in order to satisfy the call.
- Obtains a temporary moniker.
Values for dwAssign are specified in the enumeration OLEGETMONIKER.
dwWhichMoniker
[in] Specifies the form of the moniker being requested. Valid values are taken from the enumeration OLEWHICHMK.ppmk
[out] Address of IMoniker* pointer variable that receives the interface pointer to the object's moniker. If an error occurs, *ppmk must be set to NULL. Each time an object receives a call to GetMoniker, it must increase the reference count on *ppmk. It is the caller's responsibility to call IUnknown::Release when it is done with *ppmk.
Remarks
You cannot pass OLEGETMONIKER_UNASSIGN when calling GetMoniker. This value is valid only when calling IOleClientSite::GetMoniker.
The GetMoniker method returns an object's moniker. Like IOleObject::SetMoniker, this method is important only in the context of managing links to embedded objects and even in that case is optional. A potential link client that requires an object's moniker to bind to the object can call this method to obtain that moniker. The default implementation of GetMoniker calls the IOleClientSite::GetMoniker, returning E_UNEXPECTED if the object is not running or does not have a valid pointer to a client site.
