# appobject
Identifies the coclass as an application object, which is associated with a full .exe application, and indicates that the functions and properties of the coclass are globally available in this [type library](../mfc/automation-clients-using-type-libraries.md).  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
[appobject]  
  
```  
  
## Remarks  
 The **appobject** C++ attribute has the same functionality as the [appobject](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/aa366726) MIDL attribute.  
  
## Example  
 The following code shows a simple class definition preceded by an attribute block that includes **appobject**:  
  
```  
// cpp_attr_ref_appobject.cpp  
// compile with: /LD  
#include <windows.h>  
[module(name="MyLib", uuid="f1ce17f0-a5df-4d26-95f6-0a122197ac5b")];  
  
[object, uuid="905de6db-7a12-45ab-9f8b-b39f5112f010"]  
__interface ICustom {};  
  
[coclass, appobject,uuid="00395340-745f-4b69-bd58-e2921452b9fc"]  
class A : public ICustom {  
   int i;  
};  
```
