---

This interface accesses the mechanism used to organize and create objects in XPCOM. This interface is scriptable.

Methods

getClassObject

Returns the factory object that is used as an intermediary in the creation of instances of the class represented by the CID aClass.

Syntax:

void nsIComponentManager::getClassObject(
	in nsCIDRef aClass,in nsIIDRef aIID, 
	[iid_is(aIID),] out nsQIResult result)  

Parameters:

aClass: The class ID of the class whose factory is being requested.

aIID: The interface ID of the interface that the factory's class implements.

result: [out] The reference to return.

nsresult:

NS_OK if successful.

getClassObjectByContractID

Returns the factory object that is used as an intermediary in the creation of instances of the class represented by the contract ID string.

Syntax:

void nsIComponentManager::getClassObjectByContractID(
	in string aContractID, 
	in nsIIDRef aIID,
	[iid_is(aIID),retval] out nsQIResult result) 

Parameters:

aContractID: The contract ID of the class whose factory is being requested.

aIID: The interface ID of the interface that the factory's class implements.

result: [out] The reference to return.

nsresult:

NS_OK if successful.

createInstance

Creates an instance of the class indicated by the class ID and returns the interface indicated by the interface ID.

Syntax:

void nsIComponentManager::createInstance(
	in nsCIDRef aClass,in nsISupports aDelegate,
	in nsIIDRef aIID,
	[iid_is(aIID),retval] out nsQIResult result)  

Parameters:

aClass: The class ID of the requested class.

aDelegate: Used for aggregation.

aIID: The ID of the requested interface.

result: [out] The reference to return.

nsresult:

NS_OK if successful

createInstanceByContractID

Creates an instance of the class indicated by the contract ID string and returns the interface indicated by the interface ID.

Syntax:

void nsIComponentManager::createInstanceByContractID(
	in string aContractID,in nsISupports aDelegate,
	in nsIIDRef aIID,
	[iid_is(aIID),retval] out nsQIResult result) 

Parameters:

aContractID: The contract ID of the requested class.

aDelegate: Used for aggregation.

aIID: The ID of the requested interface.

result: [out] The reference to return.

nsresult:

NS_OK if successful
