Interface clients

Clients of a plug-in framework that is implemented using ECom use the C++ interface provided by that framework, and do not need to take many special extra steps. All a client needs to do is the following:

• link to the ECom framework library, ecom.lib

• include the interface definition files

• get a object through the interface's NewL() function. Usually, the client passes some data to indicate the characteristics of the object that it requires. The client may also be able to pass some data directly to the object.

• use the object

• delete the object when its use is complete

• call REComSession::FinalClose() to clean up memory
