AxControl_GetOleObject Method
Description
Some ActiveX control's methods or properties required the OleObject to be passed in as an argument (for example to set the ImageList property of a Microsoft ImageComboBox you need to pass in the OleObject). Calling this method on an ActiveX control will pass back the numeric value indicated by the OleObject. When finished using the OleObject, call AxObject_Release to release the OleObject from memory, failure to do so means the space occupied in memory by the OleObject will not be released for use by another application.
