GetComponentInstanceStorage

The GetComponentInstanceStorage function allows your component
to retrieve a handle to the memory associated with a connection. Your
component tells the Component Manager about this memory by calling the SetComponentInstanceStorage procedure. Typically, your component does not need to use this function, because the Component Manager provides this handle to your component each time the client application requests service from this connection.

FUNCTION GetComponentInstanceStorage 
                  (aComponentInstance: ComponentInstance): Handle;

aComponentInstance

The connection for which to retrieve the associated memory. The Component Manager provides a component instance to your component when the connection is opened.

DESCRIPTION

The GetComponentInstanceStorage function returns a handle to the memory associated with the specified connection.
