This function creates a pointer moniker based on a pointer to an object.

Syntax

WINOLEAPI CreatePointerMoniker(
  LPUNKNOWN punk,
  LPMONIKER FAR* ppmk
);

Parameters

• punk
  [in] Pointer to an IUnknown interface on the object to be identified by the resulting moniker.

• ppmk
  [out] Address of IMoniker* pointer variable that receives the interface pointer to the new pointer moniker. When successful, the function has called IUnknown::AddRef on the moniker and the caller is responsible for calling IUnknown::Release. When an error occurs, the returned interface pointer has a NULL value.

Return Value

This function supports the standard return values E_OUTOFMEMORY and E_UNEXPECTED, as well as the following:

• S_OK
  The pointer moniker was created successfully.

Remarks

A pointer moniker wraps an existing interface pointer in a moniker that can be passed to those interfaces that require monikers. Pointer monikers allow an object that has no persistent representation to participate in a moniker-binding operation.

Pointer monikers are not commonly used, so this function is not often called.
