A smart pointer class for managing COM interface pointers.

Syntax

template<class T, const IID* piid= &__uuidof(T)>  
class CComQIPtr: public CComPtr<T>

Parameters

T
A COM interface specifying the type of pointer to be stored.

piid
A pointer to the IID of T.

Members

Public Constructors

Name Description
CComQIPtr::CComQIPtr Constructor.

Public Operators

Name Description
CComQIPtr::operator = Assigns a pointer to the member pointer.

Remarks

ATL uses CComQIPtr and CComPtr to manage COM interface pointers, both of which derive from CComPtrBase. Both classes perform automatic reference counting through calls to AddRef and Release. Overloaded operators handle pointer operations.
