Method Details
- equals
  
  public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)
  
  Two COM objects are defined as equal if we retrieved identical COM pointers for them.
  This is specifically true for two objects where one was constructed from the other using Constructor(COMIUnknownObject object). Else, the behavior of equals depends on the COM server in use.
  
  Overrides:
  
  equals in class java.lang.Object
- getCOMInterfacePointer
  
  public long getCOMInterfacePointer()
  
  Internal use only.
  
  Returns:
  
  internal representation for a COM object.
- isNull
  
  public boolean isNull()
  
  Returns:
  
  if object is the COM NULL object. Invoking any COM method on such an object will throw an Exception.
- dispose
  
  public void dispose()
  
  Release all references held to this object.
  
  REMARK:
  Call this method on the COM server's application object at the end of your program to release the COM server and allow it to shut-down properly.
