Member Function Documentation

◆ getHostContext()

FUnknown * getHostContext ( ) const
inline

Returns the hostContext (set by the host during initialize call).

◆ getPeer()

IConnectionPoint * getPeer ( ) const
inline

Returns the peer for the messaging communication (you can only use IConnectionPoint::notify for communicate between peers, do not try to cast peerConnection.

◆ allocateMessage()

IMessage * allocateMessage ( ) const
