Informs OLE that a class object, previously registered with the CoRegisterClassObjectGUU00R function, is no longer available for use.

HRESULT CoRevokeClassObject(

Parameter

dwRegister

[in] Token previously returned from the CoRegisterClassObjectGUU00R function.

Return Values

This function supports the standard return values E_INVALIDARG,

E_OUTOFMEMORY, and E_UNEXPECTED, as well as the following:

S_OK

The class object was successfully revoked.

Remarks

A successful call to CoRevokeClassObject means that the class object has been removed from the global class object table (although it does not release the class object). If other clients still have pointers to the class object and have caused the reference count to be incremented by calls to IUnknown::AddRef, the reference count will not be zero. When this occurs, applications may benefit if subsequent calls (with the obvious exceptions of IUnknown::AddRef and IUnknown::Release) to the class object fail.

An object application must call CoRevokeClassObject to revoke registered class objects before exiting the program. Class object implementers should call CoRevokeClassObject as part of the release sequence. You must specifically revoke the class object even when you have specified the flags value REGCLS_SINGLEUSE in a call to CoRegisterClassObject, indicating that only one application can connect to the class object.
