# OLEGETMONIKER

The OLEGETMONIKER enumeration constants indicate the requested behavior of the IOleObject::GetMoniker and IOleClientSite::GetMoniker methods.

    typedef enum tagOLEGETMONIKER
    {
        OLEGETMONIKER_ONLYIFTHERE = 1,
        OLEGETMONIKER_FORCEASSIGN = 2,
        OLEGETMONIKER_UNASSIGN    = 3,
        OLEGETMONIKER_TEMPFORUSER = 4
    } OLEGETMONIKER;

Elements

OLEGETMONIKER_ONLYIFTHERE
  If a moniker for the object or container does not exist, GetMoniker should return E_FAIL and not assign a moniker.
OLEGETMONIKER_FORCEASSIGN
  If a moniker for the object or container does not exist, GetMoniker should create one.
OLEGETMONIKER_UNASSIGN
  IOleClientSite::GetMoniker can release the object’s moniker (although it is not required to do so). This constant is not valid in IOleObject::GetMoniker.
OLEGETMONIKER_TEMPFORUSER
  If a moniker for the object does not exist, IOleObject::GetMoniker can create a temporary moniker that can be used for display purposes ( IMoniker::GetDisplayName) but not for binding. This enables the object server to return a descriptive name for the object without incurring the overhead of creating and maintaining a moniker until a link is actually created.

Remarks

If the OLEGETMONIKER_FORCEASSIGN flag causes a container to create a moniker for the object, the container should notify the object by calling the IOleObject::SetMoniker method.
