IPersist interface (objidl.h)
Provides the CLSID of an object that can be stored persistently in the system. Allows the object to specify which object handler to use in the client process, as it is used in the default implementation of marshaling.
IPersist is the base interface for three other interfaces: IPersistStorage, IPersistStream, and IPersistFile. Each of these interfaces, therefore, includes the GetClassID method, and the appropriate one of these three interfaces is implemented on objects that can be serialized to a storage, a stream, or a file. The methods of these interfaces allow the state of these objects to be saved for later instantiations, and load the object using the saved state. Typically, the persistence interfaces are implemented by an embedded or linked object, and are called by the container application or the default object handler.
Inheritance
The IPersist interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IPersist also has these types of members:
Methods

| IPersist::GetClassID Retrieves the class identifier (CLSID) of the object. |
