IObjectWithSite Interface

---

The IObjectWithSite Interface provides simple objects with a lightweight (lighter than IOleObject) siting mechanism.

IObjectWithSite Methods

GetSite	Retrieves the last site set with IObjectWithSite::SetSite.
SetSite	Provides the site's IUnknown pointer to the object.

Remarks

Often, an object needs to communicate directly with a container site that is managing the object itself. Outside of IOleObject::SetClientSite, there is no generic means through which an object becomes aware of its site. IObjectWithSite provides a siting mechanism. This interface should only be used when IOleObject is not already in use. Through IObjectWithSite, a container can pass the IUnknown pointer of its site to the object through SetSite. Callers can also retrieve the latest site passed to SetSite through GetSite.
