	Quick Info

The DllGetClassObject function is the entry point used by C+ + file and stream handlers to create an instance of the handler.

STDAPI DllGetClassObject(

const CLSID & rclsid,
const IID & riid,
void ppv**)

Parameters
rclsid

Class identifier of the file or stream handler.

riid

Interface identifier of the file or stream handler.

ppv

Address returned for the object of the interface query. If the interface specified in riid is not supported by the object, S_FALSE is returned and the ppvObj parameter used in the IUnknown interface must be set to NULL.

Return Values
Returns a handle of an instance of the file or stream handler.

Remarks
DllGetClassObject is the only export function your DLL needs. The OLE component object DLL calls this function to obtain an instance of the stream- or file-handler interface.

Your file or stream handler should ensure that the system requests the correct class identifier before creating an instance of it.
