This function notifies an object embedded in an OLE container to ensure correct reference.

Syntax

WINOLEAPI OleSetContainedObject( 
  LPUNKNOWN pUnk, 
  BOOL fContained
); 

Parameters

• pUnk
  [in] Pointer to the IUnknown interface of the object.

• fContained
  [in] Boolean that is set to TRUE if the object is an embedded object, or to FALSE otherwise.

Return Value

The following HRESULT values can be returned.

Remarks

Passing invalid (and under some circumstances NULL) pointers into this function causes an unexpected termination of the application.

The OleSetContainedObject function notifies an object that it is embedded in an OLE container.

The implementation of OleSetContainedObject was changed in OLE 2.01 to coincide with the publication of the IRunnableObject interface.

You can use OleSetContainedObject and the IRunnableObject::SetContainedObject method interchangeably.

The OleSetContainedObject function queries the object for a pointer to the IRunnableObject interface. If successful, the function returns the results of calling IRunnableObject::SetContainedObject.

The implementation of OleSetContainedObject in earlier versions of OLE differs from that described here.
