Comments
Every OLE 2 object class listed in the Insert Object dialog box must have a programmatic identifier (ProgID), a string that uniquely identifies a given class. In addition to
determining the eligibility for the Insert Object dialog box, the ProgID can be
used as an identifier in a macro programming language to identify a class.
Finally, the ProgID is also the class name used for an OLE 2 class when placed in an
OLE 1 container.
The ProgIDFromCLSID function uses entries in the registry to do the conversion. OLE 2 application
authors are responsible for correctly configuring the registry at application
installation time.
The ProgID string must be different than the class name of any OLE 1
application, including the OLE 1 version of the same application, if there is one. In
addition, a ProgID string must not contain more than 39 characters or start with
a digit. Except for a single period, it cannot contain any punctuation
(including underscores).
The ProgID must never be shown to the user in the user interface. If you need a short human-readable
string for an object, call IOleObject::GetUserType.
The CLSIDFromProgID function can be called to create a CLSID from a given ProgID. CLSIDs can be
freed with the task allocator (refer to the CoGetMalloc function).

Nostalgia .Net |

.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
