Registering Object Applications
To become functional, object applications must register in the Microsoft® Windows® registry. The registry contains information about the application that is
needed to support OLE features. This chapter discusses registering object
applications and describes OLE registry entries and the subkeys under which they are
entered.
Your installation/setup program must add information to the registry, and its
associated subkeys, if it is to perform any of the three following types of
installations:
- Installing an object application.
- Installing a container/object application.
- Installing a container application that allows linking to its embedded objects.
In all three cases, you must register OLE 2 library (DLL) information as well
as application-specific information.
The subkeys are contained in the following registry keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface
Note that HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT provides compatibility with Windows 3.1 and Windows 95.
For information about OLE registry functions, refer to the following API
functions:
For information on the registry, the structure of registry entries, and
registry functions, refer to the Microsoft Win32 Programmer's Reference.
