ocidl.h contains the following programming interfaces:
Interfaces
| IAdviseSinkEx This interface is derived from IAdviseSink to provide extensions for notifying the sink of changes in an object's view status. |
| IClassFactory2 Enables a class factory object, in any sort of object server, to control object creation through licensing. |
| IConnectionPoint Supports connection points for connectable objects. (IConnectionPoint) |
| IConnectionPointContainer Supports connection points for connectable objects. (IConnectionPointContainer) |
| IEnumConnectionPoints Enumerates connection points. |
| IEnumConnections Enumerates the current connections for a connectable object. |
| IEnumOleUndoUnits Enumerates the undo units on the undo or redo stack. |
| IFont Provides a wrapper around a Windows font object. |
| IFontDisp Exposes a font object's properties through Automation. It provides a subset of the IFont methods. |
| IObjectWithSite Provides a simple way to support communication between an object and its site in the container. |
| IOleControl Provides the features for supporting keyboard mnemonics, ambient properties, and events in control objects. |
| IOleControlSite Provides the methods that enable a site object to manage each embedded control within a container. |
| IOleInPlaceObjectWindowless Enables a windowless object to process window messages and participate in drag and drop operations. It is derived from and extends the IOleInPlaceObject interface. |
| IOleInPlaceSiteEx Provides an additional set of activation and deactivation notification methods that enable an object to avoid unnecessary flashing on the screen when the object is activated and deactivated. |
| IOleInPlaceSiteWindowless Extends the IOleInPlaceSiteEx interface. |
| IOleParentUndoUnit Enables undo units to contain child undo units. |
| IOleUndoManager The IOleUndoManager interface enables containers to implement multi-level undo and redo operations for actions that occur within contained controls. |
| IOleUndoUnit Serves as the main interface on an undo unit. An undo unit encapsulates the information necessary to undo or redo a single action. |
| IPerPropertyBrowsing Retrieves the information in the property pages offered by an object. |
| IPersistPropertyBag Works with IPropertyBag and IErrorlog to define an individual property-based persistence mechanism. |
| IPersistStreamInit A replacement for IPersistStream that adds an initialization method. |
| IPicture Manages a picture object and its properties. Picture objects provide a language-neutral abstraction for bitmaps, icons, and metafiles. |
| IPictureDisp Exposes the picture object's properties through Automation. It provides a subset of the functionality available through IPicture methods. |
| IPointerInactive Enables an object to remain inactive most of the time, yet still participate in interaction with the mouse, including drag and drop. |
| IPropertyNotifySink Implemented by a sink object to receive notifications about property changes from an object that supports IPropertyNotifySink as an outgoing interface. |
| IPropertyPage Provides the main features of a property page object that manages a particular page within a property sheet. |
| IPropertyPage2 An extension to IPropertyPage to support initial selection of a property on a page. |
| IPropertyPageSite Provides the main features for a property page site object. |
| IProvideClassInfo Provides access to the type information for an object's coclass entry in its type library. |
| IProvideClassInfo2 An extension to IProvideClassInfo that makes is faster and easier to retrieve an object's outgoing interface IID for its default event set. |
| IProvideMultipleClassInfo An extension to IProvideClassInfo2 that makes it faster and easier to retrieve type information from a component that may have multiple coclasses that determine its behavior. |
| IQuickActivate Enables controls and containers to avoid performance bottlenecks on loading controls. It combines the load-time or initialization-time handshaking between the control and its container into a single call. |
| ISimpleFrameSite Provides simple frame controls that act as simple containers for other nested controls. |
| ISpecifyPropertyPages Indicates that an object supports property pages. |
| IViewObjectEx An extension derived from IViewObject2 to provide support for Enhanced, flicker-free drawing for non-rectangular objects and transparent objects, hit testing for non-rectangular objects, and Control sizing |
Functions
| HPALETTE_UserFree Frees resources on the server side when called by RPC stub files (HPALETTE_UserFree). |
| HPALETTE_UserFree64 Frees resources on the server side when called by RPC stub files. (HPALETTE_UserFree64) |
| HPALETTE_UserMarshal Marshals an HPALETTE object into the RPC buffer. (HPALETTE_UserMarshal) |
| HPALETTE_UserMarshal64 Marshals an HPALETTE object into the RPC buffer. (HPALETTE_UserMarshal64) |
| HPALETTE_UserSize Calculates the wire size of the HPALETTE object and gets its handle and data. (HPALETTE_UserSize) |
| HPALETTE_UserSize64 Calculates the wire size of the HPALETTE object and gets its handle and data. (HPALETTE_UserSize64) |
| HPALETTE_UserUnmarshal Unmarshals an HPALETTE object from the RPC buffer. (HPALETTE_UserUnmarshal) |
| HPALETTE_UserUnmarshal64 Unmarshals an HPALETTE object from the RPC buffer. (HPALETTE_UserUnmarshal64) |
Structures
| CADWORD Specifies a counted array of values that can be used to obtain the value corresponding to one of the predefined strings for a property. |
| CALPOLESTR Specifies a counted array of strings used to specify the predefined strings that a property can accept. |
| CAUUID Specifies a counted array of UUID or GUID types used to receive an array of CLSIDs for the property pages that the object wants to display. |
| CONNECTDATA Describes a connection that exists to a given connection point. |
| CONTROLINFO Contains parameters that describe a control's keyboard mnemonics and keyboard behavior. The structure is populated during the IOleControl::GetControlInfo method. |
| DVASPECTINFO Contains information that is used by the IViewObject::Draw method to optimize rendering of an inactive object by making more efficient use of the GDI. |
| DVEXTENTINFO Represents the sizing data used in IViewObjectEx::GetNaturalExtent. |
| LICINFO Contains parameters that describe the licensing behavior of a class factory that supports licensing. The structure is filled by calling the IClassFactory2::GetLicInfo method. |
| POINTF Contains information that is used to convert between container units, expressed in floating point, and control units, expressed in HIMETRIC. |
| PROPPAGEINFO Contains parameters used to describe a property page to a property frame. A property page fills a caller-provided structure in the IPropertyPage::GetPageInfo method. |
| QACONTAINER Specifies container information for IQuickActivate::QuickActivate. |
| QACONTROL Specifies control information for IQuickActivate::QuickActivate. |
Enumerations
| ACTIVATEFLAGS Indicates whether an object is activated as a windowless object. It is used in IOleInPlaceSiteEx::OnInPlaceActivateEx. |
| DVASPECT2 Specifies new drawing aspects used to optimize the drawing process. |
| DVASPECTINFOFLAG Indicates whether an object can support optimized drawing of itself. |
| DVEXTENTMODE Indicates whether the sizing mode is content or integral sizing. |
| GUIDKIND Flags used to specify the kind of information requested from an object in the IProvideClassInfo2. |
| HITRESULT Indicates whether a location is within the image of an object. |
| OLEDCFLAGS Specifies additional information to the container about the device context that the object has requested. |
| PICTUREATTRIBUTES Specifies attributes of a picture object as returned through the IPicture::get_Attributes method. |
| POINTERINACTIVE Indicate the activation policy of the object and are used in the IPointerInactive::GetActivationPolicy method. |
| QACONTAINERFLAGS Indicates ambient properties supplied by the container. It is used in the dwAmbientFlags member of the QACONTAINER structure. |
| READYSTATE The ReadyState property retrieves the ReadyState of the MSWebDVD object. |
| UASFLAGS Provides information about the parent undo unit. |
| VIEWSTATUS Specifies the opacity of the object and the drawing aspects supported by the object. |
