ptr::Attach

The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at ptr::Attach.

Attaches a COM object to a com::ptr.

Syntax

void Attach(  
   _interface_type * _right  
);

Parameters

_right
The COM interface pointer to attach.

Exceptions

If the com::ptr already owns a reference to a COM object, Attach throws InvalidOperationException.

Remarks

A call to Attach references the COM object but does not release the caller's reference to it.

Passing NULL to Attach results in no action being taken.

Example

This example implements a CLR class that uses a com::ptr to wrap its private member IXMLDOMDocument object. The ReplaceDocument member function first calls Release on any previously owned object and then calls Attach to attach a new document object.
