The IMAPIFormFactory interface is based on the OLE IClassFactory interface, and objects implementing IMAPIFormFactory should also inherit from IClassFactory. For more information on IClassFactory, see the OLE Programmer's Reference.
IMAPIFormFactory is the interface that form viewers use to create new form objects when a form server supports more than one message class — that is, more than one type of form object.
