This method requests an object's moniker.
HRESULT GetMoniker( 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 been assigned.
- Forces assignment of a moniker, if necessary, to satisfy the call.
- Obtains a temporary moniker.
Values for dwAssign are specified in the enumeration OLEGETMONIKER.
You cannot pass OLEGETMONIKER_UNASSIGN when calling IOleObject::GetMoniker. This value is valid only when calling IOleClientSite::GetMoniker.
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 Release when it is done with *ppmk.
Return Values
This method supports the standard return values E_FAIL and E_UNEXPECTED, as well as the values in the following table.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| S_OK | Requested moniker returned successfully. |
| E_NOTIMPL | This container cannot assign monikers to objects. This is the case with OLE 1 containers. |
Remarks
The IOleObject::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 IOleObject::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.
To determine whether the platform supports this interface, see Determining Supported COM APIs.
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE 2.0 and later.
Header: Oleidl.h, Oleidl.idl.
Link Library: Oleaut32.lib, Uuid.lib.
