This method requests an object's moniker.

Syntax

HRESULT GetMoniker( 
  DWORD dwAssign, 
  DWORD dwWhichMoniker, 
  IMoniker** ppmk
);

Parameters

  • dwAssign
    [in] Determines how the moniker is assigned to the object.

    Depending on the value of dwAssign, GetMoniker does one of the following:

    • Obtains a moniker only if one has been assigned.
    • Forces assignment of a moniker, if necessary, to satisfy the call.
    • Obtains a temporary moniker.

    Values for dwAssign are specified in the enumeration OLEGETMONIKER.

    You cannot pass OLEGETMONIKER_UNASSIGN when calling IOleObject::GetMoniker. This value is valid only when calling IOleClientSite::GetMoniker.

  • dwWhichMoniker
    [in] Specifies the form of the moniker being requested.

    Valid values are taken from the enumeration OLEWHICHMK.

  • ppmk
    [out] Address of IMoniker* pointer variable that receives the interface pointer to the object's moniker.

    If an error occurs, *ppmk must be set to NULL.

    Each time an object receives a call to GetMoniker, it must increase the reference count on *ppmk.

    It is the caller's responsibility to call Release when it is done with *ppmk.

Return Value

This method supports the standard return values E_FAIL and E_UNEXPECTED, as well as the values in the following table.

Value Description

S_OK

Requested moniker returned successfully.

E_NOTIMPL

This container cannot assign monikers to objects. This is the case with OLE 1 containers.

Remarks

The IOleObject::GetMoniker method returns an object's moniker. Like IOleObject::SetMoniker, this method is important only in the context of managing links to embedded objects and even in that case is optional.

A potential link client that requires an object's moniker to bind to the object can call this method to obtain that moniker.

The default implementation of IOleObject::GetMoniker calls the IOleClientSite::GetMoniker, returning E_UNEXPECTED if the object is not running or does not have a valid pointer to a client site.
