HRESULT CoGetObjectContext(
  [in]  REFIID riid,
  [out] LPVOID *ppv
);

Parameters

[in] riid

A reference to the ID of an interface that is implemented on the context object.

For objects running within COM applications, IID_IComThreadingInfo, IID_IContext, and IID_IContextCallback are available.

For objects running within COM+ applications, IID_IObjectContext, IID_IObjectContextActivity IID_IObjectContextInfo, and IID_IContextState are available.

[out] ppv

The address of a pointer to the interface specified by riid on the context object.

Return value

This function can return the standard return values E_OUTOFMEMORY and E_UNEXPECTED, as well as the following values.

Remarks

CoGetObjectContext retrieves the context for the object from which it is called, and returns a pointer to an interface that can be used to manipulate context properties. Context properties are used to provide services to configured components running within COM+ applications.

For components running within COM applications, the following interfaces are supported for accessing context properties: IComThreadingInfo, IContext, and IContextCallback.

For components running within COM+ applications, the following interfaces are supported for accessing context properties: IObjectContext, IObjectContextActivity, IObjectContextInfo, and IContextState.
