Parameters

• ExtenderCATID
  Type: System.String

  Required. The Extender's CATID.

• ExtenderName
  Type: System.String

  Required. The Extender's name.

• ExtendeeObject
  Type: System.Object

  Required. Represents the Extendee object instance.

Return Value

Type: System.Object
An Extender.

Remarks

The GetExtender is used to obtain an Extender under the specified CATID and name for the given Extendee object. This causes ObjectExtenders to call the appropriate Extender Provider's CanExtend and GetExtender methods. If the Extendee object supports IDispatch, it calls the IExtenderProvider version of the interface. Otherwise, it calls the IExtenderProviderUnk version.

This is equivalent to calling the Extendee object's Extender property if supported.
