IDsDisplaySpecifier interface (dsclient.h)
The IDsDisplaySpecifier interface provides access to Active Directory Domain Service objects of the displaySpecifier class. Such objects are known as display specifiers. A display specifier stores data about how user interface elements, such as property pages or context menus, of an object in Active Directory Domain Services are to be displayed. For more information, see Display Specifiers.
This interface is used to extend the display features of an existing object in Active Directory Domain Services, manage the display for a new directory object, or enhance the display of an Active Directory Domain Services enabled application. For more information, see Extending the User Interface for Directory Objects.
To create an instance of this interface, call CoCreateInstance with the CLSID_DsDisplaySpecifier object identifier as shown in the following code example.
#include <objbase.h>
#define INITGUID
#include <initguid.h>
#include "dsclient.h"
HRESULT hr;
IDsDisplaySpecifier *pDS;
CoInitialize(NULL);
hr = CoCreateInstance( CLSID_DsDisplaySpecifier,
NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IDsDisplaySpecifier,
(void**)&pDS);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// More code calling the interface methods.
pDS->Release();
}
CoUninitialize();
