IObjectWithSite interface
Provides simple objects with a lightweight siting mechanism (lighter than IOleObject).
The IObjectWithSite interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IObjectWithSite also has these types of members:
- Methods
The IObjectWithSite interface has these methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| GetSite | Gets the last site set with IObjectWithSite::SetSite. If there is no known site, the object returns a failure code. |
| SetSite | Provides the site's IUnknown pointer to the object. |
Often, an object must communicate directly with a container site that is managing the object. Outside of IOleObject::SetClientSite, there is no generic means through which an object becomes aware of its site. The IObjectWithSite interface provides a siting mechanism. This interface should only be used when IOleObject is not already in use. By using IObjectWithSite, a container can pass the IUnknown pointer of its site to the object through SetSite. Callers can also get the latest site passed to SetSite by using GetSite.
