Tips for Using this Reference

  • The term coclass and the term object are the same. The usage depends on the programming language. Object is used by Visual Basic. Most other languages use the term coclass.

  • Most coclasses that represent basic entities, like Test or Run, implement one or more of the interfaces IBaseField*.
