Interface IConnections

public interface IConnections

The IConnection interface is implemented by every component with a receptacle. This interface should never be called by the application, and should only be utilised by the runtime kernel.

Method Summary

boolean	connect(IUnknown pSinkIntf, java.lang.String riid, long provConnID) Connects the specified sink interface to a receptacle of the specified type in the target component instance.
boolean	disconnect(java.lang.String riid, long connID) Takes a previously established connection's connection identifier and disconnects the corresponding receptacle and interface by resetting the receptacle's internal interface pointer.
