IMoniker::IsEqual  HT7TI6

Compares this moniker with a specified moniker and indicates whether they are identical.

HRESULT IsEqual(

Parameter

pmkOtherMoniker

[in] Pointer to the IMoniker interface on the moniker to be used for comparison with this one (the one from which this method is called).

Return Values

S_OK

The two monikers are identical.

S_FALSE

The two monikers are not identical.

Remarks

Previous implementations of the Running Object Table (ROT) called this method. The current implementation of the ROT uses the IROTData45ZVM_ interface instead.

Notes to Callers

Call this method to determine if two monikers are identical or not. Note that the reduced form of a moniker is considered different from the unreduced form. You should call the IMoniker::Reduce.M4QZ4 method before calling IMoniker::IsEqual, because a reduced moniker is in its most specific form. IMoniker::IsEqual may return S_FALSE on two monikers before they are reduced, and S_OK after they are reduced.

Notes to Implementers

Your implementation should not reduce the current moniker before performing the comparison. It is the caller s responsibility to call IMoniker::Reduce.M4QZ4 in order to compare reduced monikers.

Note that two monikers that compare as equal must hash to the same value using IMoniker::HashF_B.6E.
