COleObjectManager

COleObjectManager();

Constructs the object manager.

~COleObjectManager

~COleObjectManager();

Destroys the object manager.

Connect

XObject Connect(const CString &strSource);

Connects to the ActiveX object.

This function creates an instance of an automation object with the specfied programmatic identifier (ProgID). The programmatic identifier, therefore, serves as the identification string for the automation object.

The effect of this function can be described in terms of Windows SDK function calls; it is similar to the call to CLSIDFromProgID (obtains CLSID from ProgID), followed by the call to CoCreateInstance (creates an instance of an object specified by CLSID).

The source string (parameter strSource ) must contain the programmatic identifier (ProgID) of the object; it must be acceptable as the first argument of the CLSIDFromProgID Windows SDK function.

Parameters:

strSource - the programmatic identifier (ProgID) of the ActiveX object

Returns:

the automation object referenced by the specified programmatic identifer
