Description

The class standard-i-dispatch provides a complete implementation of the i-dispatch interface, based on the type information in the type library. In addition, the i-support-error-info interface is implemented to support error information. standard-i-dispatch inherits from standard-i-unknown to provide the i-unknown interface.

All classes defined with the define-automation-component and define-automation-collection macros must inherit from standard-i-dispatch somehow. These macros pass the appropriate initargs to initialize the class.

Examples

Given the class definition:

(typep (make-instance 'document-impl)
       'standard-i-dispatch)
=> t
