How to override an interface in an MFC application by using Visual C++

MORE INFORMATION

The following steps will override the IOleObject implementation for a default OLE Control generated by the Control Wizard.

1. To add the declaration of the IOleObject implementation to the control, add the following code to the header file for the COleControl-derived class:

         // Interface Maps
         protected:
              // IOleObject
              BEGIN_INTERFACE_PART(MyOleObject, IOleObject)
                  INIT_INTERFACE_PART(CIOleOverCtrl, MyOleObject)
                  STDMETHOD(SetClientSite)(LPOLECLIENTSITE);
                  STDMETHOD(GetClientSite)(LPOLECLIENTSITE*);
                  STDMETHOD(SetHostNames)(LPCOLESTR, LPCOLESTR);
                  STDMETHOD(Close)(DWORD);
                  STDMETHOD(SetMoniker)(DWORD, LPMONIKER);
                  STDMETHOD(GetMoniker)(DWORD, DWORD, LPMONIKER*);
                  STDMETHOD(InitFromData)(LPDATAOBJECT, BOOL, DWORD);
                  STDMETHOD(GetClipboardData)(DWORD, LPDATAOBJECT*);
                  STDMETHOD(DoVerb)(LONG, LPMSG, LPOLECLIENTSITE, LONG, HWND,
                          LPCRECT);
                  STDMETHOD(EnumVerbs)(IEnumOLEVERB**);
                  STDMETHOD(Update)();
                  STDMETHOD(IsUpToDate)();
                  STDMETHOD(GetUserClassID)(CLSID*);
                  STDMETHOD(GetUserType)(DWORD, LPOLESTR*);
                  STDMETHOD(SetExtent)(DWORD, LPSIZEL);
                  STDMETHOD(GetExtent)(DWORD, LPSIZEL);
                  STDMETHOD(Advise)(LPADVISESINK, LPDWORD);
                  STDMETHOD(Unadvise)(DWORD);
                  STDMETHOD(EnumAdvise)(LPENUMSTATDATA*);
                  STDMETHOD(GetMiscStatus)(DWORD, LPDWORD);
                  STDMETHOD(SetColorScheme)(LPLOGPALETTE);
              END_INTERFACE_PART(MyOleObject)
   
         DECLARE_INTERFACE_MAP();
   						

   This adds a nested class XMyOleObject to your control class. Note that these macros declare interface methods including the IUnknown interface methods, so you must implement the IUnknown methods as well.
2. Add the IOleObject interface to the interface map for the control by adding an INTERFACE_PART macro to the implementation file for the control:

         BEGIN_INTERFACE_MAP(CIOleOverCtrl, COleControl)
            INTERFACE_PART(CIOleOverCtrl, IID_IOleObject, MyOleObject)
         END_INTERFACE_MAP()
   						

   Replace CIOleOverCtrl with the name of your control and MyOleObject with the name you chose for the nested class that supports IOleObject.
3. Implement the interface methods you declared. Add the following code to the implementation file for the control:

         STDMETHODIMP_(ULONG) CIOleOverCtrl::XMyOleObject::AddRef()
         {
             METHOD_MANAGE_STATE(CIOleOverCtrl, MyOleObject)
             ASSERT_VALID(pThis);
   
             return pThis->m_xOleObject.AddRef();
         }
   
         STDMETHODIMP_(ULONG) CIOleOverCtrl::XMyOleObject::Release()
         {
             METHOD_MANAGE_STATE(CIOleOverCtrl, MyOleObject)
             ASSERT_VALID(pThis);
   
             return pThis->m_xOleObject.Release ();
         }
   
         STDMETHODIMP CIOleOverCtrl::XMyOleObject::QueryInterface(
             REFIID iid, LPVOID far* ppvObj)
         {
             METHOD_MANAGE_STATE(CIOleOverCtrl, MyOleObject)
             ASSERT_VALID(pThis);
   
             return pThis->m_xOleObject.QueryInterface ( iid,  ppvObj);
         }
   
         STDMETHODIMP
         CIOleOverCtrl::XMyOleObject::SetClientSite(LPOLECLIENTSITE
         pClientSite)
         {
             METHOD_MANAGE_STATE(CIOleOverCtrl, MyOleObject)
                ASSERT_VALID(pThis);
   
             return pThis->m_xOleObject.SetClientSite ( pClientSite );
         }
         ...

The rest of the methods follow the same pattern where CIOleOverCtrl is the name of the control, XMyOleObject is the name of the nested class that supports IOleObject, and m_xMyOleObject is calculated by removing the I from the interface being supported and adding m_x.

Note that these methods simply pass the call on to the original IOleObject implementation. However, this is not a requirement; you could add functionality and delegate to the original implementation or not delegate at all.
