CreatePointerMoniker function
Applies to: desktop apps | Metro style apps
Creates a pointer moniker based on a pointer to an object.
Syntax
HRESULT CreatePointerMoniker( __in_opt LPUNKNOWN punk, __out LPMONIKER *ppmk );
Parameters
- punk [in, optional]
-
A pointer to an IUnknown interface on the object to be identified by the resulting moniker.
- ppmk [out]
-
The address of an IMoniker* pointer variable that receives the interface pointer to the new pointer moniker. When successful, the function has called AddRef on the moniker and the caller is responsible for calling Release. When an error occurs, the returned interface pointer has a NULL value.
Return value
This function can return the standard return values E_OUTOFMEMORY, E_UNEXPECTED, and S_OK.
Remarks
A pointer moniker wraps an existing interface pointer in a moniker that can be passed to those interfaces that require monikers. Pointer monikers allow an object that has no persistent representation to participate in a moniker-binding operation.
Pointer monikers are not commonly used, so this function is not often called.
