Let?s assume we have object B and aggregated object C (in-
proc server), created by B. Can you access any interface of
B from C? What?s the difference between aggregated and
contained objects?
Answer Posted / mms zubeir
For the first question, Yes, we can since the QueryInterface
() rules of thumb suggest that if we can query an interface
of C from B, we should be able to query the viceversa.
The IUnknown implementation of both the objects has to do
the 'magic'.
For the second question, Aggregation bounds outer and inner
objects together and gives the user the interface pointers
of either objects to access it directly so that the user
never knows the objects are aggregated.
But when containment is used, the interface of inner object
never exposed to the client directly rather the outer
object receives the calls and forwards internally. Here
also, the user doesn't know the objects are contained.
