IRAPIDesktop:IUnknown

Send Feedback

This interface is used by desktop applications to find connected Microsoft® Windows® CE–based remote devices in order to make Remote API 2 method calls. Applications will create an instance of this interface by calling COM's CoCreateInstanceEx method. Once the instance has been obtained, the EnumDevices and FindDevice methods of the interface can be used to obtain a reference to a IRAPIDevice interface that represents a connected device.

The Advise and UnAdvise methods allow desktop applications to be registered with the connection manager and be alerted when devices connect and disconnect. To use this functionality, applications must implement the IRAPISink interface.
