Description

Returns the container's IDispatch interface pointer. (This is just a slot accessor -- it does not call AddRef on the returned value.) If not null, this can be used as the first argument to get-property (from the OLE-Automation library, see page 218) to obtain the current values of ambient properties from the container. The pointer may be null if the container does not support ambient properties or if this is called before the control is fully initialized.
