I have a multi-layer containment hierarchy of objects implemented using
standard ole interfaces (IParseDisplayName, IOleItemContainer,
IOleContainer, IOleObject, IOleClientSite and a root object which implements
a class moniker. An external client can successfully access any object in
the hierarchy MkParseDisplayName to parse a composite moniker of the form
"CLSID!Child1!Grandchild2!GGrandchild3" the binding to the returned moniker.

What I now want to do though is a allow an object in the hierarchy to access
another one, via a relative 'path' - eg from the above path, access a
'cousin' using a path like "..\..!Grandchild3!GGrandchild4". What is the
easiest (or most correct) way of doing this?

The only way I can currently think that a child object could do this is as
follows:
Method A
1. Create a composite moniker representing the relative path, using anti
monikers and item monikers
2. Call IOleClientSite::GetMoniker() to get the container's moniker
3. Call IMoniker::ComposeWith() to combine the container's moniker with the
relative path moniker
4. Bind to the new composite

This sounds okay except that step 1, the creation of the relative path
moniker, seems unnecessarily complex, compared to the simplicity of calling
a MkParseDisplayName() type function. Am I missing something obvious?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dave
