Gets an object that was registered in the browse context under the given name.

Syntax

HRESULT retVal = object.GetObject(pimk, fBindIfRootRegistered, ppiunk);

Parameters

  • pimk [in]
    Type: IMoniker

    The address of an IMoniker interface.

  • fBindIfRootRegistered [in]
    Type: BOOL

    A boolean value that indicates whether the browse context is registered. If TRUE, the browse context binds this method to the moniker. If the object referred to by pimk is not registered in the browse context, the browse context gets the object.

  • ppiunk [out]
    Type: IUnknown

    A pointer to the IUnknown interface of the object being retrieved.

Remarks

If the object in pimk is not registered in the browse context, this method binds to the full moniker and gets the object, if the following conditions are met.

  • fBindIfRootRegistered is set to TRUE.
  • The moniker refers to an embedded object. The moniker pimk is a generic composite moniker.
  • The root object of the containment hierarchy is registered with the browse context.
