IOleUILinkInfo

The IOleUILinkInfo interface is an extension of the IOleUILinkContainer interface. It returns the time that an object was last updated, which is link information that IOleUILinkContainer does not provide.

When To Implement

You must implement this interface so your container can support the “Link” page of the Object Properties dialog box. If you are writing a container that does not implement links, you do not need to implement this interface.
