INetCfgComponentBindings
The INetCfgComponentBindings interface provides methods that control and retrieve information about how the network configuration subsystem binds a network component with other network components.
The interface identifier (IID) for this interface is IID_INetCfgComponentBindings.
When to Implement
It is not necessary to implement the methods of this interface. They are implemented in Netcfgx.dll.
When to Use
Use this interface to control binding and to retrieve binding information for a network component.
Methods
The following methods are listed in Vtable order:
| IUnknown method | Description |
|---|
| QueryInterface | Returns pointers to supported interfaces. |
| AddRef | Increments the reference count. |
| Release | Decrements the reference count. |
| INetCfgComponentBindings method | Description |
|---|
| BindTo | Activates all binding paths that are shared with a specific component. |
| UnbindFrom | Inactivates all binding paths that are shared with a specific component. |
| SupportsBindingInterface | Verifies whether a component supports either an upper-edge or lower-edge binding interface. |
| IsBoundTo | Verifies whether at least one binding path shared with a specific component is activated. |
| IsBindableTo | Verifies whether at least one binding path shared with a specific component exists. |
| EnumBindingPaths | Retrieves an enumeration of a collection of the component's binding paths. |
| MoveBefore | Sets the order of two binding paths so one comes before the other. |
| MoveAfter | Sets the order of two binding paths so one comes after the other. |
Comments
Notify objects call the QueryInterface method of the INetCfgComponent interface to obtain a pointer to INetCfgComponentBindings.
