IObjectWithSite Interface

Provides simple objects with a lightweight siting mechanism (lighter than IOleObject).

IObjectWithSite Members

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.

Remarks

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.
