\doxysubsection{Description}
Publicly inherits from IACFUnknown.\+This abstract interface is used to indentify all of the plug-\/in components in the host. 

\begin{DoxyRemark}{Remarks}
This interface is the base class for both plug-\/in and component definitions. All defined attributes are read only.
\end{DoxyRemark}
\begin{DoxyNote}{Note}
This interface does not provide any attribute enumeration. You must know the uid of the associated with the attribute that you need to find. 

This interface is implemented by the host. The plug-\/in will use this interface to define optional attributes for both plug-\/in and component implementations classes. 
\end{DoxyNote}
