## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ getHostContext()

FUnknown * getHostContext | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the hostContext (set by the host during initialize call).

## ◆ getPeer()

IConnectionPoint * getPeer | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the peer for the messaging communication (you can only use IConnectionPoint::notify for communicate between peers, do not try to cast peerConnection.

## ◆ allocateMessage()

IMessage * allocateMessage | ( |  | ) | const

Allocates a message instance (do not forget to release it).

## ◆ sendMessage()
