All
OLE Messaging Library Objects
All OLE
Messaging Library objects contain the properties Application, Class, Parent, and Session. The Application and
Session properties have the same values for all objects within a given
session. The Parent property indicates the immediate parent of the
object, and the Class property is an integer value that identifies the
OLE Messaging Library object.
All four of
these common properties have read-only access in all objects. Note that for the
Session object, the Parent and Session properties are assigned
the value Nothing. The Session object represents the highest level in
the OLE Messaging Library object hierarchy and has no parent.
To reduce
duplication, the detailed reference for these properties appears only once, in
this section. The following table lists the properties that are common to all
OLE Messaging Library objects and that have the same meaning for all objects.
