2.398 .uuid

This attribute is used to give an unambiguous ID to a control object. This ID is generated using the program guidgen.exe.

If the control object is used as an OLE Client, the UUID of the server can be stored in this attribute. This attribute then replaces the .name attribute, in which the server name is normally stored.
