Each interface corresponds to a deferred Eiffel class that includes one deferred feature per interface function. The deferred features are implemented in heirs of the interface class. Classes inheriting from these interfaces implement either a coclass or an implemented interface (that is an interface whose instance might be used as an argument on one of the component interfaces functions). -[[Image:interface-inheritance]] + +==Projects Accessing Existing COM Components== In a project accessing an existing component, the Eiffel classes corresponding to component coclasses inherit from the class [[ref:libraries/com/reference/ecom_queriable_chart| ECOM_QUERIABLE ]] , which is part of the EiffelCOM library.
