Provides the primary means by which an embedded object obtains information about the location and extent of its display site, its moniker, its user interface, and other resources provided by its container. An object server calls IOleClientSite to request services from the container. A container must provide one instance of IOleClientSite for every compound-document object it contains.
Note This interface is not supported for use across machine boundaries.
