OLEGETMONIKER enumeration

Controls aspects of the behavior of the IOleObject::GetMoniker and IOleClientSite::GetMoniker methods.

Syntax

typedef enum tagOLEGETMONIKER { 
  OLEGETMONIKER_ONLYIFTHERE  = 1,
  OLEGETMONIKER_FORCEASSIGN  = 2,
  OLEGETMONIKER_UNASSIGN     = 3,
  OLEGETMONIKER_TEMPFORUSER  = 4
} OLEGETMONIKER;

Constants

OLEGETMONIKER_ONLYIFTHERE

If a moniker for the object or container does not exist, IOleClientSite::GetMoniker should return E_FAIL and not assign a moniker.

OLEGETMONIKER_FORCEASSIGN

If a moniker for the object or container does not exist, IOleClientSite::GetMoniker should create one.

OLEGETMONIKER_UNASSIGN

IOleClientSite::GetMoniker can release the object's moniker (although it is not required to do so). This constant is not valid in IOleObject::GetMoniker.

OLEGETMONIKER_TEMPFORUSER

If a moniker for the object does not exist, IOleObject::GetMoniker can create a temporary moniker that can be used for display purposes (IMoniker::GetDisplayName) but not for binding. This enables the object server to return a descriptive name for the object without incurring the overhead of creating and maintaining a moniker until a link is actually created.

Remarks

If the OLEGETMONIKER_FORCEASSIGN flag causes a container to create a moniker for the object, the container should notify the object by calling the IOleObject::GetMoniker method.
