DECLARE_OBJECT_DESCRIPTION( x )
Parameters
x
[in] The class object's description.
Remarks
Allows you to specify a text description for your class object. ATL enters this description into the object map through the OBJECT_ENTRY macro.
DECLARE_OBJECT_DESCRIPTION implements a GetObjectDescription function, which you can use to override the CComCoClass::GetObjectDescription method. For example:
class CMyClass : public CComCoClass< ... >, ...
{
public:
// Override CComCoClass::GetObjectDescription
DECLARE_OBJECT_DESCRIPTION("Account Transfer Object 1.0")
...
};
The GetObjectDescription function is called by IComponentRegistrar::GetComponents. IComponentRegistrar is an Automation interface that allows you to register and unregister individual components in a DLL. When you create a Component Registrar object with the ATL Object Wizard, the wizard will automatically implement the IComponentRegistrar interface. IComponentRegistrar is typically used by Microsoft Transaction Server.
